The FIRM Guide

For estate attorneys & financial planners

A client who has worked through The Recoverable Family arrives prepared — accounts inventoried, assets documented, beneficiaries reviewed, the Family Guide drafted. That is the input you wish every client brought to the first meeting.

The prepared client

You already gather this information — less comprehensively — when you build an estate plan or a financial plan. When the client does that groundwork first, your billable hours go to judgment and strategy, not information archaeology: better inputs, faster and more accurate plans, a better client experience.

This complements your practice — it does not replace it

The FIRM System is an organizing method, not advice. It does not draft wills, establish trusts, or give legal, tax, or financial counsel — it gets your client's information in order first, then points them to engage a professional. As the book puts it: a will is a legal instrument; the FIRM System is the organized world that surrounds it.
