Why the ultra-wealthy structure inheritances like a 'faucet'-not a 'firehose'
Briefly

Dawn Jinsky argues that structuring an inheritance as a "faucet" provides better financial control and ensures heirs are prepared for wealth management, unlike a sudden "firehose" approach.
By distributing assets incrementally, families can mitigate risks of heirs squandering large sums, and also guard against potential divorce or creditor claims on their riches.
Implementing a trust with controlled disbursements not only protects wealth from rash spending but also aids tax strategy, providing long-term benefits for heirs.
Jinsky emphasizes that the ultra-wealthy prefer gradual asset distribution to prepare heirs for financial responsibility, reflecting a crucial lesson for those planning their own inheritances.
