What do the ultra-wealthy know about protecting their fortunes that most people never learn?In Trust Issues, veteran estate planning attorney Rick Durfee reveals the legal tools and
legacy strategies the affluent use to safeguard their assets, minimize taxes, and pass down
wealth across multiple generations—with control, clarity, and confidence.
This isn't a theory. It’s a playbook forged from decades of experience helping high-net-worth
individuals, business owners, and family offices build robust dynasty plans that last.
Whether you're a successful entrepreneur, investor, or professional advisor, this book will
show you how to:
● Use trusts to avoid probate and control how wealth is used—even after death
● Create business entities (like LLCs and FLPs) that protect assets from lawsuits and
creditors
● Build a dynasty trust to preserve wealth for 100+ years
● Legally minimize estate and gift taxes
● Avoid the most common (and expensive) estate planning mistakes
● Empower your children and grandchildren with wealth—without enabling
entitlement
Durfee’s approach is both ethical and practical, grounded in the belief that wealth should
serve your family’s highest values, not just their lifestyle.
