🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mediation platform connecting families with neutral estate planning counselors to facilitate difficult conversations about inheritance expectations.
  2. A template-based guide for adult children to document and present their perspective on family financial equity to parents in a non-confrontational way.
  3. A support community or forum for individuals navigating toxic family dynamics and unequal inheritance to share coping strategies.
