The Peace of Mind Families Can Trust

Our most critical challenges often have less to do with money and more to do with family relationships. How much money should we give our children? Should we give equally to all or distribute based on performance? What effect will the distribution of our money have on family harmony? Will our money ruin our children's work ethic? These are tough questions that require open, honest discussions. Dr. Weiner's passion is to help families define a legacy that preserves both financial assets and family relationships over time.
