Customer Reviews
Family Wealth
Family Wealth is an area in small and meduim size business that has lept to the front of issues facing their firms. As the baby-boom generation decides how an when to step aside Family Wealth should be a must read book on the topic of asset protection and family relationship.
Estate Planner
This book is useless except for dysfunctional families (who won't read it and wouldn't take the advice).
copyright 1997 edition of the book is now outdated
Buy the 2004 edition published by Bloomberg Press and don't waste your money on this. The 2004 edition has much more material.
