Defining Evolving Family Values:

Best Practices for Multigenerational Families

Defining and aligning values can feel like an enigmatic endeavor. We think values are assumed, even innate, and thus remain unspoken. Yet few exercises are more important – especially for families of significant means. 


A multigenerational family’s values serve as the bedrock of family relationships and impact a family’s actions and priorities for years to come. When those values are misaligned or unidentified, families risk losing control of their legacy and fomenting deep rifts between family members that can have far-reaching effects. 

Family values center around big questions:

• What do we believe in as a family?

• What purpose do we want wealth to serve in our family?

• How do we want to work together to achieve that purpose?

 

 

Answering those questions and establishing shared family values is hard work – but it is vital work that will better set the family up for success. Click below to read Pitcairn's established best practices to follow as you and your family embark on this challenging yet rewarding journey.
