Family System
Where does your family come from?
Your family system is the people behind the wealth — the people, the places, the stories. The point isn't paperwork: it's a conversation with anyone living.
The people
Names, when they were born, where they were born, and whether they're still living. That's all we need to start.
| Name | Relationship | Born | Where they were born | Living | At the table | Remove from your family system |

Who currently needs to be part of this conversation?
The questions
None of these are a form. Each one is a conversation to have with someone living — ask for fifteen minutes, not two, and write down what they say. Your answers save as you type.
What was your mother's name, and where was she born? Your father's? And what do you know about your grandparents' names and where they came from?
Inheritances and hand-offs you know about or anticipate.
The expectations your family runs on that were never agreed to.
