What is a Family Office?

A Family Office is an organization in charge of comprehensively managing the different items related to families’ wealth by covering the fields of knowledge involved in its administration. Its operation requires the abilities of professionals in several disciplines who work together for the exclusive benefit of the family´s wealth.
