The forthcoming book, “More Than Money: Creating a Legacy That Really Matters” will feature strategies for family and wealth planning beyond the typical advice of passing money along to one’s family and heirs.  While these attorneys certainly understand the value of such planning, they are authoring the book to shed light on the more important subjects that transcend the typical financial portion of an estate plan.
