    Australia is in the middle of a $5.4 trillion wealth transfer. Baby boomers and the silent generation hold 70% of the nation's wealth and according to Perth's leading succession lawyer, most of it won't transition successfully. In this episode, Capital Partners founder David Andrew and wealth adviser Aden Wilkins sit down with Morgan Solomon, founding director of Solomon Hollett Lawyers, to unpack what actually happens when estate planning goes wrong and what successful families do differently.
