Family Wealth Report, May 15, 2009

Barb Culver’s article Preserving Wealth Through the Generations appeared in this subscription publication for advisors who serve high-net-worth families. The article addresses the issue that Heirs often waste family wealth by spending frivolously, getting involved in lawsuits and making bad investments. The reason: they haven’t been prepared for the roles and responsibilities that go with their legacies. The key to avoiding this is to get heirs involved in the planning process during the life stage that psychologists call “emerging adulthood” — the few years between late adolescence and early adulthood.
