Intergenerational Planning

Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations — unless someone designs otherwise.

Three generations of men — grandfather, father and son — share a moment poolside

The promise, in one line

"The plan is older than our youngest heir. That is why it works."

The story

Wealth is a relay, not a sprint

The statistics are brutal: most family wealth evaporates by the third generation. Not from catastrophe — from the absence of design. Each generation improvises, and improvisation compounds badly.

Intergenerational planning is the counter-design: structures, education and governance that treat wealth as a relay team, with every runner trained before the baton arrives.

What it protects

Promises, kept in writing

Built for the third generation

Structures sized for decades, reviewed each generation, owned by none.

Heirs, educated

The next runners learn stewardship before they inherit the baton.

Values travel with money

A documented family purpose keeps wealth pointed somewhere.

Erosion, engineered out

Taxes, disputes and dilution are designed against — not discovered.

Who This Is For

  • Families whose wealth has survived one generation and must survive another
  • Founders who want the enterprise or estate to outlast any individual's involvement
  • Parents who think in decades, not years — and want their children to do the same
  • Anyone who has watched wealth evaporate by the third generation and wants to design against it

How We Design It

  1. 01 Build structures that govern assets across generations — trusts, councils, constitutions
  2. 02 Educate heirs on stewardship before the baton arrives, not after
  3. 03 Document the family's purpose and values so wealth stays pointed somewhere
  4. 04 Review the plan at each generational transition — what worked for one may need redesigning for the next
