Estate planning, and the transfer of wealth, evoke various feelings and highlight our relationship with money, with our beneficiaries and ourselves.
The complexities require many different aspects to be considered − dividing assets, evaluating tax liabilities, forming trusts, etc. − during which the emotional aspects are often pushed aside or overlooked, whereas they deserve as much attention as the legal and financial ones.
Without a carefully constructed estate plan, your wealth may not serve your intended purposes, leading to potential conflicts among your heirs and detrimental impacts on their lives. Through effective estate planning, you can shape how your wealth influences the lives of those you care about, turning it into a positive force that sustains your legacy.
During my career I have often observed the harmful and painful implications on the well-being of beneficiaries when the soft issues were not considered.
Before you start your estate planning process, I strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation or get my Estate Planning & Wealth Transfer Program.
This program will help you understand the emotional and psychological forces underpinning the decisions you need to make. Working together will ensure you become clearer about the subconscious forces driving the decisions involved in creating the content of legal and financial instruments.
These emotional currents usually revolve around 6 key issues:
- Who has control?
- Do you protect or over-protect?
- Do you focus on equality or fairness?
- Is there an appropriate age to inherit and how?
- Do you involve your children in the process?
- How do you let your beneficiaries know about their inheritance and when?
Parents and professionals are often moving into new and unknown territory when they start to consider the psychological dimensions of estate planning. And no general guidance is available to help explore the feelings that are triggered by this process.
Dr. Lami’s expert guidance can help you chart a legacy that truly reflects your life’s work and aspirations.
