Abstract

This study investigated the use of Family Holding Companies as an effective strategy for protecting family assets. Family Holding Companies are legal structures that consolidate and manage a family's assets, offering advantages such as protection against creditors, facilitation of succession, tax minimization, and the preservation of wealth across generations. Methodologically, the research employed a qualitative approach, analyzing existing literature. The objective was to examine the different types of Family Holding Companies, the legal and tax aspects involved, and provide guidance on best practices for creating and managing these structures. The results showed that Family Holding Companies provide protection against creditors, reduce tax burdens, and simplify the succession process. The study emphasized the importance of personalized planning to meet the specific needs of each family, as well as the legal and fiscal challenges in implementing these structures. In conclusion, Family Holding Companies play a critical role in protecting family assets, ensuring wealth preservation and financial stability for future generations.
