Story telling is often seen as the cornerstone of explaining any principle. Certainly my experience in the estate planning area is that there are few approaches as memorable as learning based on ‘war stories’. This workbook collects court decisions and client based scenarios that explain 10 key estate planning principles. The 10 key principles are: 1. Don’t become a war story 2. It’s the ‘vibe’ 3. Let’s kill all the lawyers 4. Estate planning is more than a will 5. Don’t get stuck in the middle 6. Murphy’s Law 7. Iterate & update 8. Just do it 9. No estate plan, means you have an estate plan 10. It depends
Author Biography
Matthew Burgess is one of the founders of specialist firm View Legal. Having the opportunity to help clients achieve their goals is what he is most passionate about. As Matthew always works in conjunction with trusted advisers (whether it be accountants, financial advisers or other lawyers) and their clients, finding ways to fundamentally improve the value received by those advisers, and in turn their clients, has led him to develop numerous game changing models. Matthew’s specialisation in tax, structuring, asset protection, estate and succession planning has seen him recognised by most leading industry associations including the Tax Institute, the Weekly Tax Bulletin and in the 2014 ‘Best Lawyers’ list for trusts and estates and either personally, or as part of View, since 2015 in ‘Doyles’ for taxation. Work is one aspect of his life Matthew loves, so there is no need to be constantly searching for ‘balance’. His other great loves are: 1. Family – they are profiled in various ways through the series of children’s books he has written under the pseudonym ‘Lily Burgess’ – see .au and various TV commercials; 2. Learning – going cold Turkey on television and most forms of media in late 2005 has radically increased Matthew’s ability to study the great authors and inspired him to publish a series of books that explore the concept of ‘true success’ – see .au 3. Health – aside from being a foodie and swimming at least a 5km a week, Matthew installed a stand up workstation in 2007 and among a few other lifestyle choices, it changed his life.
