The Family Meeting About Money Workbook

The Inheritance Conversation Nobody Wants to Have

Money talks are never about money. This is how you have the real one.

This is for:

For the families navigating the inheritance conversation — adult children, aging parents, and siblings who know the conversation needs to happen before someone dies or someone is blindsided, and who do not know how to start it.

You'll produce:your Your Family Money Meeting Kit

The Name It First Experience

Family conversations about inheritance are among the most avoided and most consequential conversations families do not have. The result is grief compounded by financial surprise, sibling conflict that outlasts the money, and wishes that were never documented because nobody asked. This kit gives families the structure for the conversation before it becomes urgent: what the parents want, what the children expect, what assumptions are in the room that nobody has named. The output is not an estate plan. It is The Family Meeting About Money Agreement.

You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.

Sample questions

  1. What are your family's actual shared financial values — and are they aligned?
  2. What outcome do you need from this conversation — and what are you willing to put on the table?
  3. What decisions need to be made together — and what would a good process look like?
  4. What has been hardest to talk about honestly — and what would happen if you did?
