Publisher: Elite Online Publishing

In Trust Issues, veteran estate planning attorney Rick Durfee pulls back the
curtain on the legal tools and legacy strategies the affluent quietly use to
safeguard their assets, slash taxes, and keep wealth in the family for
generations, with control, clarity, and confidence.

This isn’t theory. It’s a field-tested playbook built from decades
of helping high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and family offices
create dynasty plans that actually work in the real world.

Whether you’re a successful entrepreneur, investor, or professional advisor,
you’ll discover how to:

• Use trusts to avoid probate and dictate how wealth is used, even long after
  you’re gone.
• Set up business entities (like LLCs and FLPs) that shield assets from lawsuits
  and creditors.
• Build a dynasty trust designed to preserve family wealth for 100+ years.
• Legally minimize estate and gift taxes.
• Sidestep the most common (and costly) estate planning mistakes.
• Empower your children and grandchildren with wealth, without fueling
  entitlement or dependency.

Durfee’s approach is ethical, practical, and grounded in a simple
belief: wealth should serve your family’s deepest values, not just their
lifestyle.

If you’re serious about protecting what you’ve built, Trust Issues
is your roadmap to a lasting legacy, on your terms.
