Parenting While Wealthy

The Highly Unusual Case of Wellington R. Burt
 

"Generation skipping" (leaving an estate to grandkids, instead of grown kids) can be an effective estate planning strategy in many situations. But Wellington R. Burt, a wealthy timber baron who died in 1919, whose $100 million estate was just now distributed to his great, great-great, and great-great-great grandchildren (a mere 92 years after his death!) took this strategy to an unprecedented extreme. 

 

Was old man Wellington, who stipulated that his estate not  be distributed  until 21 years after the death of his last grandchild, a vindictive father/grandfather or a wise patriarch trying to keep his kids grounded? Researchers are now delving into this perplexing case in an effort to determine the answer.  

 

As far as how to prevent "Affluenza," a motivation and work ethic killing malady that often strikes heirs of successful families, there are much less drastic alternatives available.  There are creative stipulations and conditions than can be included in trusts and planning to motivate heirs to complete education/career goals and to remain productive adults. As far as "Generation Skipping" in general, it can be a useful tax savings strategy, but has its limitations and needs to be considered within the context of the entire estate preservation/transfer plan.
