In BEYOND THE
GRAVE, father and son attorneys Gerald M. Condon and Jeffrey L.
Condon warn you about the conflicts, jealousies and problems
that typically arise when parents die and their children divide
the inheritance. It will help you recognize and resolve
inheritance conflicts in advance so that the family relationship
is preserved when your money and property is divided. The
subject of BEYOND THE GRAVE could not be more timely. A survey
recently appeared in Trust and Estates Magazine which
reported that over the next 45 years, baby-boomers will inherit
an estimated $10.4 trillion dollars from their parents.
That sum is the largest generational transfer of money in the
history of America. Also,
this survey reported that 1 in 5 boomers predicts disagreements
with relatives over dividing the inheritance!
