A guide to safeguarding your wealth and your relationships, from an attorney who “understands it is not what you make but what you keep that matters” (Dr. Phil McGraw, from his foreword). It may surprise you that if you become involved in a costly legal battle, it’s far more likely to be with a former loved one than a stranger. In Love and Money, Ann-Margaret Carrozza helps you easily understand and implement essential legal strategies to prevent you from such conflicts with someone you once shared Thanksgiving dinner (or a pillow) with. Through an engaging narrative, including dozens of real-life cautionary tales, you’ll learn how to utilize contracts to identify and avoid costly relationship landmines, reduce pet peeves, and create a joint mission statement, all the while ensuring that your wealth and values are transmitted to future generations. Love and Money demystifies many legal structures, including: Prenuptial agreements * Postnuptial agreements * Cohabitation agreements * Love contracts * Wills * Trusts * Powers of attorney * Healthcare advance directives In addition to focusing on external wealth destroyers like toxic contracts and con artists, the book also delves into internal wealth repellants such as low self-esteem, fear, and stress. Becoming and remaining wealthy requires more than just money. This book provides a unique education about the interrelated nature of the internal and external laws of wealth and how to put them both to work for stronger relationships with one’s finances and loved ones.
