Legacy: Keeping Families Together Across Generations by Grant and Christine Wattie

Free Download

The book every founder family needs to read before succession.

Most families spend months on the legal and financial structure of their transition. Almost none ask the one question that determines whether any of it will hold.

Legacy asks that question. And it shows you what to do with the answer.

"Modern shamans... holding the space for what matters most."

James E. Hughes Jr. — Author, Family Wealth

"What a wonderful book. It delivers so deeply on how to have a deep, honest and consequential family discussion."

Dennis T. Jaffe PhD — Author, Borrowed from Your Grandchildren

What's Inside

Legacy answers the questions most families spend decades avoiding.

Why 70% of family wealth transitions fail

The research is clear. Almost never the money. It's the conversations nobody had before the pressure arrived.

The one question no succession plan asks

Are the relationships in this family strong enough to carry the plan? That's the question that determines everything else.

What Relational Due Diligence looks like

The same rigour you apply to the financial structure, applied to the relationships the plan depends on.

How to have the conversation that changes everything

Not a family meeting. Not mediation. Something simpler and harder than both.

Building a Family Legacy Mission

The north star that makes every decision after succession easier — for this generation and the next.

Stories from real families

What it actually looks like when a family does this work, and what becomes possible on the other side.

Grant & Christine Wattie

Written by people who know this from the inside.

Fourteen years into our marriage, while our photography business was taking us into Malaysian palaces and the homes of future prime ministers, Christine packed her bags.

What we learned rebuilding what had broken became the foundation of Legacy. Twenty years of professional practice. 5,000+ couples and families. 10,000+ client sessions.

We wrote this book because the families carrying the most wealth are often the ones least prepared for what transition actually asks of them. Not financially. Relationally.
