Balancing Riches and Relationships: Family-Centric Wealth Management with Jeff Savlov (Ep. 46)

September 14, 2023

It is very common for first-generation, self-made, affluent people to shield their children from hardships.


But that safety net can become a hammock of complacency…and entitlement!


In this episode, Duncan MacPherson joins Jeff Savlov, family business and wealth consultant, and the founder of Blum & Savlov, LLP. They discuss how to address family dynamics in wealth management — ultimately avoiding strained relationships among all future inheritors of wealth.


They discuss:


  • Why family dynamics play a crucial role in continuity and succession planning
  • Major challenges in family business succession (and how to address them)
  • Resources for financial advisors to help address family issues faced by affluent clients
  • How to engage families — including children — in the financial planning process
  • And more
