Gone are the days of creating legal structures to hold your assets, pass your fortune on to the next generation and, of course, avoid paying estate taxes. Gone are the days of planning for your death. It’s time to plan for your life.

One of the biggest reasons that wealth is historically made and lost in three generations is due to trust and communication, or a lack thereof.
What you have already done in terms of estate planning can most likely be salvaged and incorporated into a more effective legacy plan.
