Synopsis:

This enlightening guidebook turns estate planning into a process of financial education and spiritual growth for the whole family. Written by a highly qualified, interdisciplinary team-a well-respected estate planner and two clinical psychologists with a focus on family counseling-it teaches wealthy families how to build estate plans that include non-material aspects such as family values and character strengths. Topics include inherited money myths and the role money plays in a happy family; how parents model their children's values; teaching children about money; building healthy families where there is unequal wealth; and communicating about money. Wealthy parents will find their most disturbing morals issues addressed with competence and empathy, such as: Will money corrupt my child? Isn't value-based estate planning a form of "ruling from the grave"? What can I do if one of my children is a big disappointment? Examples are drawn from the authors' practice and include families of all structures and histories-married, divorced and single parents and those with previous marriages. Also includes is an estate planning roadmap showing how to protgect assets and lessen taxes. Combining a positive attitude, deep psychological insight, and "hard" financial know-how, this is value-based estate planning for families at its best.
