[Jeff] Condon's mission is keeping the family, and its assets, together through life and death, using proper inheritance planning." —Los Angeles Times 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 "If you have a family you love, poured your soul into building a business, and hate the idea of seeing the lion's share of your estate go to the taxman, you cannot afford to die without reading this book." —Fortune "It offers insight into problems you might encounter with the almighty dollar, that you might not have even imagined. . . . Full of helpful advice, such as how to avoid probate court, give tax-free gifts while still alive, and deal with all the furnishings in your house to avoid fights among heirs." —Fort Worth Star-Telegram
