A breakthrough approach to wills and estates, designed
to help you make the hard decisions while keeping your
family happy
In the world of wills and estate
planning, tax saving and asset protection are typically the
paramount goals; family dynamics, emotions, and leaving a
meaningful legacy are secondary considerations at best. The
result, predictably, is often bickering, backstabbing, unmet
expectations, and even litigation after the will is read.
Creating the Good Will focuses on the issues that
most books in this category miss but that matter most in
the end. As a former estate planning attorney and now as a
coach, Elizabeth Arnold has dedicated her career to helping
people develop wills and estate plans that create harmony,
not havoc. She puts the emotional well-being of loved ones
ahead of clever tax- saving structures and teaches readers
how to protect their relationships and values as much as
their hard assets. In this unique book, Arnold
explains how to deal with the emotional baggage and
communication blindspots that can undo even the most
iron-clad legal document. Filled with resonant anecdotes
from her personal and professional life, along with
practical information about wills, estate plans,
guardianship agreements, trusts, and more, Creating the
Good Will is a priceless resource for anyone who wants
to leave a legacy of warmed hearts, not heated heads.
