Structural Integrity
Five stages. Most families are not where they assume.
Structural Integrity (0–100) measures how your family would hold up under a real event: a succession, a medical crisis, a change of jurisdiction, an unexpected death. It reads your structure, not your balance. It is not a credit score and it affects nothing about your financial standing.

Stage 1 · 0–20
Exposed
Minimal documentation, undiversified assets, no succession structure. A single event puts everything at risk: a death, a dispute, or a market shock. One person holds the global position. Nobody else has the map.
Key actions
- Create a will and power of attorney in your primary jurisdiction
- Open a joint account with a trusted family member
- List every asset you own, across every country
Stage 2 · 21–40
Organized
Basic documents exist. Assets are tracked but not structured. No formal protection layer. A family at this stage is aware but not yet protected. The global position exists, but only in one person's head.
Key actions
- Diversify across two or more asset classes
- Add a named beneficiary to every insurance policy and pension
- Track liabilities alongside assets. The net worth view is incomplete without both.
Stage 3 · 41–60
Structured
Documents are current. Some diversification across asset classes or geographies. Succession planning started but not complete. The foundation is in place. The risk now lives in the gaps between jurisdictions.
Key actions
- Complete succession documents across all jurisdictions
- Review insurance coverage for cross-border gaps
- Ensure every family member has a current passport and the vault holds a copy
Stage 4 · 61–80
Protected
Strong documentation, diversified assets, multi-jurisdiction coverage. Family wealth is protected against most scenarios. The global position is nearly complete. What remains is refinement: stale nominations, FX exposure, succession timing.
Key actions
- Consider a family trust structure for cross-border assets
- Review DTAA treaty positions across your jurisdictions
- Add a professional trustee or succession executor
Stage 5 · 81–100
Generational
Institutional-quality wealth governance. Complete documentation. Diversified across asset classes, jurisdictions, and currencies. Succession plan active. Your wealth transfers cleanly, across any jurisdiction, to whoever you choose.
Key actions
- Annual wealth review with a cross-border advisor
- Stress-test your structure against market and succession scenarios
- Prepare the next generation. Everything you own should survive without you.
