Beyond the Grave: The Right Way and the Wrong Way of Leaving Money to Your Children (and Others)

This expert, one-of-a-kind handbook shows you how to

• ensure that your inheritance instructions will be carried out the way you want them to be;
• protect your children's inheritance from creditors, ex-spouses, addictions, tax troubles, mismanagement, squandering, and other risks of loss;
• prevent family conflict that can arise when parents die and children divide the "family money";
• leave more money to your children and grandchildren, and less to the IRS;
• avoid creating inheritance problems in your family with "cautionary tales" of inheritance planning gone bad;
• understand why you still have to deal with estate tax issues even if your net worth falls below the new death-tax-exemption.
