Answer: to properly administer an estate

Explanation:
Often the word prudent/prudence (depending on context) is used to translate "en bon père de famille", but I would suggest the above as an alternative, and have found it at several sites, two of which I have listed below.
Good luck.

manage an asset like a reasonable man

The "reasonable man" appears throughout the English system. He is the standard by which many acts are measured.

Anything which is done "en bon père de famille" means that it is done reasonably. Whilst more journalistic than the expression I have given, it boils down to the same thing and may work in your context, particularly if legal.

to administer an estate with due diligence

conservative investment management

Or conservative management of fortune, property, estate.


In Switzerland, the Private Bankers know this term well. They give their clients a choice between aggressive placements (with risks), diversified
investments (a basket of high-risk, low-risk and conservative investments) and
management of funds "bon père de famille": low return, but pretty safe for maintaining the funds at their level.

It implies a very conservative placements of funds availabe.
