The Greatest Gift

The Greatest Gift is the ultimate guide to successful estate planning—without the drama!

For anyone who has worked their entire life to amass wealth, one of their biggest fears is that their kids will fight over their assets after they have passed. In The Greatest Gift, the authors lay out a plan to keep this from happening by providing families with the tools they need for the successful transfer of wealth, allowing heirs to carry on their family’s legacy.

Based upon Sean Maher’s extensive experience as a financial planner and interviews with families who navigated a peaceful inheritance, this helpful resource identifies 9 Principles for Successful Wealth Transfer. It reinforces those principles with stories of inheritances gone right and those gone wrong, incorporating insights and tools from coauthor Jill D. Maher’s field of work—psychology.

Implementing the nine principles allows future generations to build upon their family’s rich and lasting legacy rather than fight over assets and money—no matter the amount. As such, The Greatest Gift is for anyone who values preserving relational wealth as much as they value building financial wealth.

A useful guide for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone who envisions their heirs thriving and living in harmony after they’re gone, it’s also for people who wish to be a catalyst for proactive conversations with their siblings, cousins, or anyone else who might share in an inheritance.

The Greatest Gift offers tools that are easy to implement to ensure families do not end up being the subject of a Dateline episode of an inheritance gone terribly wrong.
