12-26-25 Legacy Conversations for the Holidays

The holidays bring families together—but they also create a rare opportunity to talk about something that truly matters: legacy.

Richard Rosso & Sarah Buenger explore how thoughtful, well-framed conversations about money, wishes, and values can become one of the greatest gifts you give your family. Research shows that nearly 70% of parents have never discussed inheritance with their children, often leaving confusion, conflict, or unresolved questions behind.

Questions lead to stories. Stories lead to understanding. And understanding builds a legacy that lasts beyond the holidays.
