Founders and families building wealth in digital assets face a set of legal challenges that conventional private client advisers are rarely equipped to handle. Token vesting schedules, illiquid treasury positions, multi-jurisdiction entity structures, wallet succession risks, and cross-border tax exposure all require specialist knowledge that sits at the intersection of digital asset law and private wealth planning.
TLP Advisors works with founders, early investors, and families to coordinate tax planning, structure asset protection vehicles, plan digital asset succession, and prepare cross-border coordination packs alongside tax, immigration, banking, and fiduciary advisers.
Tax coordination memo for crypto-asset transactions and operations covering token issuance, token sales, staking rewards, mining, airdrops, treasury disposals, market making, DeFi income, NFT sales, fund tokenisation, cross-border services, and VAT or corporate tax considerations in coordination with tax advisers.
Tax authority interaction support covering tax law documentation, filings coordination, procedural submissions, audit responses, tax compliance proceedings, disclosure packs, tax authority correspondence, and settlement coordination.
Founder asset-protection structure memo covering personal holding companies, family holding vehicles, trusts, foundations, nominee arrangements, family office entities, treasury vehicles, and cross-border asset segregation.
Digital asset estate planning paper covering wallet access, private key succession, custody arrangements, multisig governance, emergency access procedures, inheritance risks, executor powers, beneficiary arrangements, and loss-prevention controls.
Succession and legacy planning documents covering wills, letters of wishes, foundation bylaws, family charters, protector provisions, beneficiary arrangements, governance rules, asset distribution instructions, and continuity plans.
Founder liquidity and token planning memo covering token vesting, lock-ups, treasury allocation, founder wallets, exchange liquidity, tax coordination, reporting, pledge arrangements, disposal mechanics, and estate-transfer mechanics.
Family governance framework covering decision-making protocols, investment mandates, confidentiality obligations, dispute mechanisms, succession roles, reporting structures, key-person contingency plans, and digital asset access controls.
Cross-border coordination pack for founders with assets, family members, entities, or tax exposure across multiple jurisdictions, prepared with tax, immigration, private banking, fiduciary, estate-planning, and wealth advisers.

Questions we work through with founders and families planning their digital asset wealth and succession.
Without a succession plan, digital assets held in self-custody wallets may become permanently inaccessible if the private keys are not passed on. Even where assets are held with a custodian, the executor must have the legal authority and practical information to access and transfer them.
The tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and depends on the nature of the token, the recipient, the vesting structure, and whether there is a readily ascertainable market value at the time of vesting. We coordinate with specialist tax advisers to ensure that vesting events and token sales are planned and documented consistently.
Holding significant digital assets personally creates concentration risk, inheritance complexity, and potentially unlimited personal liability. A holding structure separates the assets from personal exposure, facilitates succession planning, and enables more efficient cross-border coordination.
A family governance framework documents how investment decisions are made, how access to digital assets is controlled, what happens if a key person is incapacitated, how disputes between family members are resolved, and how succession roles are allocated.
