A psychologist describes the cultural adjustment families make when they move from earning wealth to holding it, comparing wealth creators and heirs to immigrants in a new country and laying out the conversations that help each generation adapt.
A former IRS attorney who helped draft federal conservation easement regulations explains how families holding farmland, ranchland, or forest across generations can use conservation easements and valuation discounts to prevent estate taxes from forcing the sale of land with no liquid way to pay them.
Three practitioners who work directly with trust families document the relational failures, resentment, dependency, and secrecy that cause a well-drafted trust to damage the family it was meant to support, and provide communication practices trustees and beneficiaries cannot substitute with legal documents.
An asset protection attorney addresses the vulnerability of professionals in high-liability fields, explaining entity structuring, retirement account protection, and timing that separates protection built before a claim arises from weaker protection attempted afterward, when options are already constrained.
An estate planning attorney explains why a living trust avoids the specific cost and delay of probate that a will alone does not, and walks readers through funding, retitling accounts, deeds, and beneficiary designations that determine whether a trust actually works when it is needed.
An elder law attorney addresses the threat that long-term care costs pose to generational wealth, walking through legal asset protection and Medicaid planning strategies that, when timed correctly, can prevent a single extended nursing home stay from consuming assets a family spent decades building.
One founding scholar of family business studies identifies tensions between family harmony and business performance, and between founder control and next-generation development, that determine whether an enterprise survives its first transition, then lays out governance practices for managing both simultaneously.
Three family advisors examine gifts within wealthy families, from trusts to inheritances, and how the way a gift is given, received and explained decides whether it strengthens or weakens the person receiving it. The book explores how gifts shape family relationships across generations.
A psychotherapist and an estate attorney set out age-by-age practices for raising children in affluent households, covering allowances, work, giving and money conversations that build responsibility rather than entitlement. The book offers practical guidance for parents navigating wealth and privilege.
A philanthropic advisor lays out a structured process for turning charitable giving from scattered, reactive donations into a coherent family giving plan, treating philanthropy as a genuine wealth management discipline that can involve the next generation directly rather than remaining one family member's responsibility.
