Why don't more trusts and money fix what's broken in my family?

Because you're trying to solve an emotional problem with financial tools. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, has Robert Mitchell name this for himself in real time. He had been reaching for trust structures, governance, and money to fix what was actually a relational gap. Adding more legal protection doesn't address why the kids feel unseen, why the spouse feels exhausted, or why the family meetings keep ending in walkouts. The legal side has a ceiling on what it can do. Past that ceiling, the work is human. Conversations the family hasn't had. Intentions that haven't been written down. Approval that hasn't been spoken out loud. Most founders reach for the financial tools because they're solvable and familiar. The deeper work is uncomfortable but it's the only thing that fixes the actual problem.
