  9. Risk Perception – “What Bit Me?” WHY DO 90% FAIL? 60% of the failure is due to a lack of communication and trust. 25% of the failure is due to unprepared heirs. Only 3% of the failure is due to failures in financial planning, taxes and investments! Source: Williams and Pressier

We spend money and time on this every year, just like we do with our management team!” Third Generation Business Leader Risk Perception “WHAT DO WE THINK WILL BITE US?”

  38. The Hard Questions – Preparing the Family for the Money When does a person become a member of the family? Prenuptial agreements; a “gate in,” or a “roadblock out?” What does “equal” mean? What is an appropriate lifestyle, and when should it start? Should trusts pay for “lifestyle?” or: invest into the beneficiaries? Should we sell or keep the family business? What do we do with the vacation house? What consequences should family members be subject to? How should WE enforce these consequences? What “types” of beneficiaries might we create? How should the trust handle each “type?” Who should apologize, who’s “right” or who’s “wronged?” … How do we create independence AND interdependence? The Easy Questions – Preparing the Money for the Family How do we minimize taxes? How do we invest the family money? Governance Questions to AnswerSTEP FIVE

  39. The Three Big Questions • How Much is Enough? • The amount for which you prepare them. Preparing them for nothing is as hard as preparing them for millions • When Do We Tell Them? • When they are ready to hear it. Use “little train” opportunities to challenge them. • How Do We Break the Paradigm, “Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves in Three Generations?” • Build flexible family teams and empower them.
