Leave Your Estate to Your Children Without Ruining Them

Leaving money to your children and grandchildren can be wonderful, and terrible. Money has a tendency to do one of two things to people: either it turns them into spoiled-rotten, good-for-nothing, nonproductive, lazy, wasteful brats that we hope don't move in next door or date our daughters - or, it turns them into powerful, productive, humble, highly effective and valuable people that make great neighbors and contribute substantially to the community, may our children marry so well.

How do we turn the wealth we leave our children into a blessing rather than a curse?
