About this episode

What happens when a sudden windfall meets poor planning? This episode explores how business owners, retirees, and high-net-worth families can approach generational wealth, tax efficiency, and income planning. Raj Shah and Rick Borek discuss structuring large liquidity events, minimizing estate tax exposure, and using tools like trusts and life insurance strategies to transfer wealth.
