Mutual Fund · Legacy Planning

Legacy Planning wealth that transfers the way you intended.

Building wealth is only half the job — passing it on smoothly, without disputes, delays or unnecessary tax drag, is the other half. Legacy planning structures your nominations, will and asset titling so your family's transition is administrative, not adversarial.

What is legacy planning?

The paperwork that decides what your family inherits — and how easily.

Legacy planning is the structuring of nominations, wills, joint holdings and asset documentation so that your mutual funds, insurance and other financial assets pass to your intended beneficiaries with minimal friction, delay or dispute.

Faster asset transmission

Correctly nominated folios transfer to heirs in weeks, not the months or years a legal dispute can take.

SEBI-compliant structuring

Every folio and policy structured to meet current nomination mandates, avoiding administrative freezes.

Reduced family disputes

Clear, documented intent across all assets removes the ambiguity that fuels most inheritance conflicts — nomination and your will should tell the same story.

Tax-aware transfer

Transmission structured to minimise unnecessary tax events during the transfer of assets to heirs.

What's included

A full audit of how your wealth is currently structured.

We look at documentation, not just investment performance.

Nomination audit

Review of nominee details across every mutual fund folio, insurance policy and bank account you hold.

Joint holding review

Assessment of whether joint holding structures align with your intended transfer of ownership.

Will coordination

We coordinate with your legal counsel (or refer one) to ensure your will and nominations tell the same story.

Periodic re-verification

Nominations reviewed after major life events — marriage, childbirth, divorce — to keep them current.

How it works

From portfolio audit to documented plan.

A structured, confidential process that fits alongside your existing investment relationship.

Portfolio & document audit

We compile every folio, policy and asset you hold and check current nomination status against SEBI/IRDAI norms.

Gap identification

We flag missing nominations, conflicting joint holdings, or mismatches between nominations and your will.

Structuring & correction

We help you update nominations, correct holding structures, and coordinate with legal counsel where a will is involved.

Periodic re-verification

We revisit the structure after major life events to keep it current with your actual intent.

Frequently asked

Common questions, honestly answered.

No. A nominee is legally a trustee who receives the assets on your behalf and is expected to transfer them to the rightful legal heirs per your will (or succession law if no will exists). Nomination and your will should be consistent to avoid disputes.

SEBI mandates that every folio either have a nomination or a signed declaration opting out. Folios without either can face redemption restrictions or delays for your heirs when you're no longer around.

Yes, ideally. A will is the strongest legal instrument for expressing your intent and covers all your assets, not just those with a nomination facility. Nomination and a will work together — one doesn't replace the other.

Yes — up to 3 nominees per folio, each with a defined percentage share. We help you decide whether split nomination or separate folios per beneficiary better suits your intent.

After every major life event — marriage, childbirth, divorce, death of a nominee — and otherwise, at least once every 3-5 years as part of a routine portfolio review.

No — the administrative and emotional cost of a poorly structured transfer affects families of every portfolio size. It's about clarity and speed of transfer, not the amount involved.
