What Caused You to Fail?

60% said the failure was due to a breakdown in communication and trust, 25% said the failure was due to unprepared heirs, 3% said it was a failure in their planning and investing, 12% said it was everything else.*

Around the same time, studies were conducted on the 10% of families that succeeded at maintaining their unity and wealth. The key question asked was “what is it these families do differently?”

The difference was they had added another piece to their planning–Heritage Planning. Financial planning prepared their money for them, estate planning prepared their money for their children and Heritage Planning prepared their children for their money.

Heritage Planning develops the families’ human and intellectual capital. It acts as the bridge between planning for the future of your money and planning for the future of your family. It addresses the key success areas for families by focusing on communication and trust and preparing heirs.
