A family constitution articulates your family’s shared mission, values, and rules for governance. It's not a legal document, but a relational roadmap.
This post explains how to structure your constitution—from vision and values to roles, communication rules, and succession plans. We offer examples of real-world clauses, like voting mechanisms, conflict resolution policies, and philanthropy mandates.
Most importantly, we emphasize that a family constitution must be a living document. The process of creating it together is just as important as the outcome.
