T HIS BOOK IS THE CULMINATION OF YEARS OF GOOD INTENTIONS to put on paper many of my out-of-the box ideas about estate planning. When I started this project, I wanted to write something differentsomething more meaningful to the reader than just another book that explains the rules of estate planning. If you find that this book accomplished my goal, the thanks should be given to Greg Perry. Greg not only worked with me to write the text, but he filtered through countless ideas and stories to highlight those that would educate and inspire the reader.
My parents also deserve credit. Both of them spent the bulk of their careers as educators and, genetically, I think I am predisposed to educating others. If this book educates without reading like a textbook, Les and Marge Galbraith are responsible.
Finally, my beautiful wife, Lissa, and our five wonderful children, Maxwell, Cameron, Benjamin, Tatiana, and Callie, played a role as well. Each of them is quick to remind me that the books Ive written previously are boring except to my fellow lawyers, and that if I want my family to read more than the first page of this book, it better be different than the others.
Well, different it is. I hope you enjoy the read.

I dont want to achieve immortality through my work;
I want to achieve immortality through not dying.
Woody Allen
I T S UNFORTUNATE THAT THE LANGUAGE OF ESTATE PLANNING IS SO weighted down by death. Theres the death tax, death planning, deceased parties... and if our own human mortality wasnt heavy enough, how about some probate and incapacitation to cast a pall over your last will and testament? Estate Planning 101: Death and Disempowerment. And we wonder why people procrastinate.
Its time to re-frame the conversation with life and empowerment at the center of a precise estate plan configuration. We call it the Four Corners and its a map for families who want to stay on offense, not defense. The Four Corners helps families explore how an estate can cultivate, create, and inspire.
Some families simply navigate the complexities of wealth better than others. What they do with their money now, and how they plan for it passing to their heirs, is guided by principles that transcend conventional thinking. In our individual practices we have encountered and advised families who possess an innate understanding that wealthoften great wealthis merely the raw material for an enduring and thriving legacy. These families understand that, just as they define their wealth, they can also define their legacy.
Are they more financially savvy than others? Sometimes, but even that knowledge is often an organic product of the choices theyve made. Theyve learned how to be smart, in other words. Is their emotional intelligence higher than the norm? After all, wealth creates at least as much stress as it alleviates, right? Its true that these families can have high degrees of emotional intelligence, but the very question places too much emphasis on emotional responses. These families have discovered a way to keep their emotions focused on an enriching legacy, not merely riches.
It can be an eye-opening, even mind-expanding, experience when the full range of estate planning possibilities is revealed. Some clients even question our scruples with furrowed brows and an is that really legal? look, as if we were recommending an exotic offshore tax haven. Theres nothing exotic about the strategies in this book, but they have come from another world, specifically the rarified world of the super-affluent.
