The Real Estate Risk You Can’t See — and Why It Could Cost Your Legacy
Manage episode 501330079 series 3677531
In this episode of The Family Wealth Blueprint Podcast, Penny shares Rachel’s story: a successful entrepreneur who built a real estate portfolio and finds herself navigating the complexities of divorce. On the surface, it looked like success. Underneath, the lack of coordination between her advisors, outdated estate documents, and absence of protection strategies exposed her wealth and family to serious risk.
You’ll learn:
- How divorce often leaves ownership, titling, and estate plans dangerously outdated
- The tax opportunities missed when real estate isn’t structured intentionally
- The critical role of risk management and entity planning in safeguarding wealth
- How a Virtual Family Office approach pulls the legal, tax, and insurance pieces together for true protection
Rachel’s story is a cautionary tale—but it’s also a roadmap. With the right structure and coordinated planning, families can avoid costly mistakes and preserve both their assets and their legacy.
