Before your next family conversation about wealth transfer, ask these three questions first:
1. Does everyone understand the plan - not just the paperwork? A trust document doesn’t mean much if the people it affects don’t understand the “why” behind it.
2. Have you talked about values, not just assets? The most contentious wealth transfers aren’t usually about the money - they’re about unspoken expectations.
3. Who’s the first call when something changes? Life doesn’t pause for estate plans. Make sure everyone knows who to reach when circumstances shift.
Wealth transfer isn’t just a legal event. It’s a family conversation - and the earlier you have it, the smoother it goes.
