I've seen family greed and entitlement too many times. Thankfully we've kept our will's reasonably current, our kids are 10 & 13 so they currently can't fend off the wolves by themselves.

I've been very surprised at the caliber of individuals I've known over the years in their 40's and 50's that have procrastinated or ignored implementing even basic asset protection measures. I quit gambling at 40.

It takes far less time to protect it than it does to make it.
