Comment

This is an important entry and shouldn't be deleted. Family offices manage a large portion of the nation's wealth.

It really needs input from someone that works in the family office business.

Needs editing

Why are there three vague and overlapping definitions of family offices? The top discussion at least has footnotes. It just needs a little more clarity and to make whatever distinction is to be made. DCDuring 05:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That section seems rather useless, but the saying is, "If you've seen one family office, you've seen one." Each office is structured to meet the needs of the particular family and its businesses and interests. User:Fred Bauder Talk 17:16, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Family office. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Tax avoidance section

Its unclear to why there is a tax avoidance section, which suggests that a principal purpose of a family office is tax avoidance, which is not the case. I would suggest deleting this section. Any views?Keith Johnston (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am inclined to agree with the position of Keith here. It is not only so poorly written as to suggest the purpose of a family office is to avoid tax, it is written as an opinion piece, not an encyclopaedic examination of the issue.
