Rudsel Lucas has written a must-read for anyone considering family estate planning. Read this book, and learn from one of the best.

For years, I’ve looked forward to the regular instalments of “advice you can trust.” Always insightful, Rudsel Lucas puts thought-provoking reflections into the subject matter he writes about, which I have found useful in considering how I might help the families I advise. His collected works in a single volume are a fantastic resource for guiding families in defining their planning goals.

I have received and reviewed a copy of Mr. Rudsel Lucas’s book on family estate planning. In the years that I have had a professional relationship with Mr. Lucas in international taxation, I have had the opportunity to learn first-hand about the high professional training of Mr. Lucas and I can say without a doubt that this book will be an invaluable guide for the interested reader in family estate
planning.

The content in this book is sensational. You can find in a well-structured summary the professional experience of more than 25 years of working in the wealth planning industry. From basic knowledge to the most complex, this piece collects different aspects and solutions to be considered at the moment to advise or manage family planning goals.

In this clear, concise, and easy-to-read work, Rudsel leaves us with no more excuses for procrastination. As new wealth creation grows harder for most of us and inheritance faces challenges from tax-driven policies, Rudsel directs his work at Baby Boomers to act without delay and Generations X and Y to prioritize planning. With practical tools and a sense of urgency, this is a must-read for wealth preservation.

A comprehensive guide for wealthy families and their advisors, this book by Rudsel Lucas provides useful guidelines and solutions to the relevant issues. Besides exploring the legal, technical, financial, and regulatory frameworks, it also discusses the personal, psychological factors that are often more important in successful estate planning.

A classic, foundation-like work! My father often told me: “It is never too bad that it could not become even worse.” This book contains strategies and tools, how to protect your family’s wealth and avoid major conflict of interests among the successors when “too bad” has happened to you already.
