White Paper:

Effective Family Governance

Most inheritance plans ultimately fail because the inheritors are not prepared for the responsibilities that come with their emotional and financial inheritances. To thrive, the family must learn how to work together, and how to equip succeeding generations to deal with the responsibilities and opportunities of inherited wealth.


The ultimate goal of Family Governance as described in this paper is to create a high-performance, multigenerational team in which the succeeding generations are participating in decision making, leadership activities and hands-on money management long before their parents pass on.

White Paper:

Sustaining Family Wealth & Unity Across Generations

Your family’s assets, and its unity, can be sustained from one generation to the next. The specific elements required to accomplish this have been tried, tested and proven over centuries.  Research at The Heritage Institute was inspired by this question: “if 90% of families fail to keep their unity and their assets together across generations, what do the ‘successful’ 10% do differently?”


Our work, plus contemporary studies and the cumulative experience of professional advisors, provided the answer: families who remain strong and unified across generations share many

specific ‘elements of success’ in common, including how they intentionally teach and transmit those elements to succeeding generations.
