Nazneen’s story
“It has been 30 + years but I remember like it happened yesterday. There I was, a young woman, widowed in my early thirties, mourning the death of my husband, left alone to fight life’s battles while having to provide for two tender-aged children.
I found myself in the eye of the storm, engulfed by the UAE business laws, Shari’a laws and inheritance disputes back home in India. The patriarch’s legal heirs, the third generation, his grandchildren, were left in a vulnerable position forgoing their rights to the family inheritance.
This bitter experience could have been avoided if only the senior patriarch of the family had taken an aerial view and considered Intergenerational Planning instead of just leaving the family’s legacy in the hands of the immediate next generation in good faith and complete trust.
In all these years, the one thing that has become clear is that the hardships I faced as a young woman is actually commonplace in most entrepreneurial families even today. With the solemn intention to ensure that no other family goes through what mine did, I crafted Ma’an – an Intergenerational Planning (IGP) platform.
As it is rightly said,
“Trust no one with money, not even yourself, as with money in hand, even the most dependable will find a worthy justification for their most unworthy actions”.
