What happens to legacy when the world it was designed for no longer exists?
In Episode 7 of Elysium: The Journey of Wealth and Legacy, we explore how families, founders, and future heirs are rethinking continuity in an era defined by volatility, global mobility, rising estate tax exposure, and a collapse of trust in traditional institutions.
This episode uncovers why the old blueprint of wealth transfer, built on predictable marriages, stable geographies, and linear family structures, no longer fits the realities of the future. With inheritance disputes rising, generational values splitting, and succession failures at record highs, families are quietly rewriting the rules.
We dive into:
• The “continuity crisis” reshaping inheritance, trust structures, and governance
• Why more heirs are rejecting traditional succession plans
• How shifting marriage rates, declining birthrates, and cross-border lifestyles are transforming estate design
• Real examples of regenerative governance—from family constitutions to relational charters
• How emotional readiness shapes wealth outcomes as much as financial preparedness
• Why the future of legacy requires both structural clarity and relational coherence
This episode is not about advice; it’s about awareness.
A new landscape is forming, and families who understand it can protect both their wealth and the relationships that carry it forward.
EP7 is an invitation to rethink not just what you leave behind, but how you prepare people to receive it.
