## Resource

Most parents want to leave behind a blessing, not a family argument. But what happens when a trust that's meant to protect your children ends up creating frustration, resentment, or even conflict? A conversation with a concerned father reveals a common estate-planning mistake: making major decisions for your heirs without ever asking what they actually need. Along the way, we explore how trusts work, where good intentions can go sideways, and why the most important part of estate planning might not be the legal documents at all. If you've got children, beneficiaries, or assets spread between the U.S. and Israel, this is a thought-provoking look at how to protect both your wealth and your family relationships.
