Loss and isolation aren’t the only burdens borne by inheritors. Today we will briefly touch on guilt.
It can be hard for an inheritor to stomach the guilt that accompanies never having to worry about having food on their plate or a roof over their head. How do heirs feel as they walk to the Michelin Star restaurant, stepping over the homeless person in their sleeping bag on their way? GUILTY!
Heirs don’t want pity, of course, but they do struggle to come to terms with the material comforts wealth can bring. In our experience, the title “spoiled rich kid” is an anomaly. More often, we encounter the over-apologetic, embarrassed, guilt-ridden inheritor.
