Parents who leave substantial money to their children do not guaranty their children’s happiness. In many cases it has the opposite effect.  However, by thinking deeply about how you structure your children's inheritance and how you shape your children's relationship with money, you can greatly enhance the odds that wealth will enhance, not hinder your children’s happiness. Neal Gerber Eisenberg Private Wealth Services Practice Group partner Susan L. Goldenberg is quoted extensively in a book entitled Kids, Wealth and Consequences set for release in February 2010.
