Whether in nations, communities, sports, religion, associations, or families operating a business, there are requirements for becoming a member.

These entry requirements vary from organisation to organisation, depending on the common project the organisation seeks to achieve. Whether simple or complex, these entry requirements pre-qualify members for certain benefits and confer specific responsibilities.

Unlike companies where membership can be terminated by contract or exit from shareholding, family membership is based on kinship. While a company derives its value from its economic success and hence assesses the members according to their contribution to this success, families are directed towards providing security and safety to their members and furnishing them with the required capabilities for leading a successful life.

First, partners are no longer only seen as a potential cause of risk for peace in the family, but also as support, enrichment, and co-educators of the next generation. On the other hand, the integration of partners is becoming more difficult due to the growing instability of partnerships/marriages, especially when it comes to matters that have to be kept secret. Each family walks its own line between inclusion and exclusion.

Another possible reason to discuss trimming the family tree is that a growing number of owners also increases the potential for conflict. Every shareholder conflict destroys economic and emotional capital. The sibling partnership and the cousin consortium are deemed especially prone to conflicts. Permanent sole ownership through a trust or other structures, lends itself as an attractive alternative to eliminate the destructive power of these conflicts.
