    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does family office advisory cover at STAT Advisors?
    Governance architecture, succession planning, principal and family security posture, crisis readiness, reputational risk, and counsel to principals on decisions that cross the boundary between the family and its enterprises.
    How is succession planning handled for a single-family office?
    As a governance problem before a legal one: clarifying decision rights across generations, defining who holds authority in the interim if a principal is unavailable, and rehearsing the transition rather than documenting it and filing it away.
    Do you work with families and their existing advisers?
    Yes. The firm coordinates with existing legal, tax, investment, and security advisers and does not displace them.
    What level of confidentiality applies to family office engagements?
    Absolute. No client names, matters, or outcomes are published, and engagements are accepted by referral and invitation only.
    What triggers a family office engagement?
    Most often a generational transition, a security or reputational event, a governance dispute, or the recognition that the family's decision-making structure has not kept pace with the complexity of its holdings.
