Publisher's summary

Worried that the wealth you'll leave behind will harm those you love the most?

Even those with a modest amount of wealth can find themselves lying awake at night worrying that the wealth they have might actually jeopardize the well-being of their children and grandchildren. There must be a way to address those fears and set things up for a positive transfer of wealth, right?

For over 30 years, Mark Shiller has walked alongside many families as an estate planning attorney and advisor to help them parent/grandparent well with wealth. In this audiobook, he shares with you what he's learned over the course of his career that works well and what doesn't.

How to Not Ruin Your Kids with Money is an honest, compassionate, insightful conversation to enable you and your family to:

Understand the challenges you're facing

Properly and realistically define what success looks like

Know what you should and should not do regarding wealth

Empower the next generations of your wealth as to wealth

Safely walk through your heirs' most challenging stages of life

Get the most out of your advisors

Achieve meaningful, multi-generational goals

Whether you are uncertain or even downright scared of what impact an inheritance might have on those you leave behind, deep down you know that just hoping it all works out is not a winning plan.

So find a quiet spot to listen and take in a new mindset with better tools, strategies, and insight to turn fear into hope and hope into greater confidence regarding wealth within your family than you probably thought possible.

Complex concepts made easily digestible

The author addresses an emotional and challenging topic by guiding the reader clearly and tactfully through numerous obstacles potentially faced and strategies for success. This book is a fantastic way to start the conversation about the tools needed to facilitate successful family wealth transfer. I look forward to reading any additional books the author releases. I’m the meantime, for those looking to dive deeper on stories, theory and strategy, I highly recommend the HBR family business handbook.
