The stories show you a lot you never thought of. Worth reading for everyone.
Most books on estate planning center on avoiding probate and paying less in taxes. For the first time ever, a noted financial planner (Collins) and a respected estate attorney (Barney) present a completely new look at a subject usually considered dry and technical, even morbid. They use letters and stories by and about children, parents, and others to focus on nontraditional estate planning concepts like passing on visions and ideals, values and morals, work ethic and guidance, and love.
Emphasizing people, their lives, and their desires and goals for future generations, the authors show readers how to:
*Understand their own family, social, emotional, and economic dynamics.
*Identify what is really important to them.
*Tailor uniquely personal estate plans.
*Explore alternatives to traditional estate planning concepts.
*Balance the financial and emotional aspects of estate planning.
Sooner or later, estate planning becomes an important aspect of every individual?s life plan. Best Intentions enables readers to apply practical, topical, and timely recommendations to their own personal circumstances-whether their net worth is $10,000, $10,000,000, or more.
