It's hard though. Running a business is a full time job. Most businesses need to adapt. Handing over control to kids might not sit well with current employees or those with a financial interest in it. And the kid may very well want to do literally anything else and now be unable to do so. Especially if the business is not easily sold or would be seen as against the family wishes to do so. If it's just a financial interest in a business that the kid won't be controlling, then it's just money anyway.
