Every wealthy family faces the challenge of defining the rules, living their values and achieving their goals as they pass their legacy of wealth, opportunity and challenge to the next generation. This talk explores the challenges wealth creators face when they pass all forms of family "capital"  to their children.   It shares the results of a study of best practices reported by 200 global families in the areas of sustaining family connection, developing family governance, and cultivating stewardship in the next generation.
