Plan wealth for the living and posterity with clear, careful guidance.
This practical volume surveys how wealth can be shaped for family, charity, and society through wills, trusts, and other instruments. It blends legal framework with ethical reflections to help readers plan with foresight and responsibility.
The book is organized into two parts: the legal point of view and the ethical point of view. It explains how wealth can be transmitted after death, what limits exist, and how careful planning can reduce conflict and waste. It also presents thoughtful questions about charitable giving, public benefit, and the duties of wealth to future generations.
