To understand why Family Wealth Planning is “green”, you first have to understand my definition of “green.”

I define “green” as anything intended to leave the world a better place.

So a product is green if it makes less of an impact on the earth when it is discarded, thereby leaving the world a better place. A service is green if it helps people leave the world a better place, both during their own lifetime and for future generations.

That’s what Family Wealth Planning (often called estate planning) is all about - increasing Family Wealth from one generation to the next. And, that includes our global Family Wealth in addition to your personal Family Wealth.

It’s about making conscious decisions for your future and your family’s future.

And, I call that green.

If you consider yourself green, find yourself a Personal Family Lawyer, so you can make sure your kids are raised with your Values, Insights, Stories and Experience and will make a real difference with the Family Wealth you leave behind.

Here are a couple of other things that make us green:

• We just got solar panels installed at our 1920 renovated office.
• Our office is as paperless as possible for lawyers and we are about to begin working with a green consultant to see where else we can make eco-aware decisions

Agree or disagree with my conclusion that Family Wealth Planning is green?
