What Is A Family Owner's Manual–A leafplan–And How Do I Create One?
In this episode of the Trusted Advisor Podcast from The Heritage Institute, Josh recently sat down with Rod Zeeb, JD, HDP™, to explore the question of whether or not client families are prepared if they lose the 'record keeper' of the family and how to prepare families for this scenario. Whether that is the family patriarch, another family member, or a trusted professional, they discuss how to create a leafplan to apply a family office lens to the collection, organization, and mapping of a family’s and family enterprise’s formation in a single-source manner, allowing a family to identify blind spots, take proactive and corrective actions, educate family members and advisors, and prepare a family for an effective, comprehensive, and efficient succession-of-information.
