Overview: While the advantages of inherited wealth are obvious, there are many disadvantages that planners must help clients address. As financial planners, one come across a very wide spectrum of individuals with much wealth. Some probably earned their wealth by starting their own businesses, others may have worked their way up in a corporation, and still others may have inherited their wealth.
