EP 174 | Wealth Building is a Family Business with JR Gondeck

The idea of leaving something behind for the next generation extends beyond just providing for their needs. When we aspire to leave a lasting legacy, we work hard to make sure everything is set. What if everything you have built is gone after a couple of generations?

On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth welcomes JR Gondeck from the Lerner group for a thorough discussion of building generational wealth, and the strategy that includes family members in financial planning.

"You see families evolve over time. A lot of estate plans were in order, but there just wasn't any communication. The money was made, but it wasn't transferred, and the legacy wasn't transferred. There just wasn't a lot of family communication."-JR Gondeck
