Family Constitutions are a set of rules that are set in place to guide the family as a whole. The Family Constitution is a document that is written by family members and is meant to be a guideline for how the family should operate.  

It is a document that defines the rights and duties of members of a family. These constitutions often outline how property, businesses, assets and wealth will be divided between family members, what the responsibilities of children are, and other important topics. A family constitution can also help to prevent disputes between family members.
