​THE INHERITANCE MUSE METHOD™ is a unique method which holistically approaches inheritance-related issues, from the perspective of Aristotle's Triad of Ethos, Pathos and Logos.  

THE INHERITANCE MUSE METHOD™ can be equally applied in simple dilemmas as figuring out, if one should sell or keep an heirloom dining-room set, downsizing or buying out a sibling, or in larger issues like identity, cultural identity, personal purpose, succession, generational wealth and family legacy.

In practice the method is applied through:

​  
  • strategic questions in the consulting processes, to create a better perspective- in any situation.
  • aiming to incorporate all 3 aspects of the triad, as part of finding a balanced solution or outcome.
  • addressing both the tangible and intangible nature of any inheritance and dwelling into the Personal Inheritance Profile (PIP).
  • exploring the story behind the artefact, possession or property.

​I. ETHOS
The fundamental core values, beliefs & ideals that represent you and guide your life.

  • ​Is this inheritance a catalyst for a long over-due change in my life?
  • How do I apply my core values, beliefs and ideals as I make my life decisions?
  • What values am I passing down to my children? ​
  • Am I the decision-maker or are circumstances or others going to decide what happens?​​
  • How important is it to me to lead a life of significance and create a legacy?
  • ​Is my wealth serving the life I want?
  • How do the goals I originally set for myself 20 years ago, resonate with me now my mid-life?
  • I want to simplify my life, experience a lightness of being and create more impact in the world.
  • This art collection has been in my family for generations.  Should I preserve, sell or donate it?​
  • How do I adhere by my values in dealing with a difficult ageing parent, who does not see reason?

Picture
II. PATHOS
​Your emotional connection with your ownership & inheritance.

  • What are my deeper feelings concerning this inheritance?  I feel a related sense of gratefulness, excitement, happiness (and/or) anger, fear, anxiety, concern, sadness, confusion guilt related to this?
  • How can I manage all this sudden wealth?
  • I am cluttered but I can't let anything go!
  • Does my inheritance create conflict or connectedness with the others co-inheritors?
  • What if my children squander everything?
  • Am I worthy of all this wealth?
  • How connected do I feel with my lineage? Do they play a creative or restricting role in my life?
  • My grandmother & mother both experienced trauma.  It is affecting me. How can I heal this?
  • I can't face the idea of my own mortality.
  • How can I bring myself to clear out a loved one's home after they passed away?
  • ​How can I delete or edit painful moments of my life story? 

Picture
III. LOGOS
​The factual circumstances of your ownership & inheritance.

  • Do I have a clear overview of the legal, financial and other realities, which I must face, related with this inheritance? What am I still not clear about?
  • How best to preserve this property/ space- or store these artefacts to prevent their destruction or decay- until I decide what to do?
  • What changes/ shifts must I make in my life, to best accommodate my new inheritance or role in the family business?
  • What is in my control and what circumstances going to determine the outcome?​
  • I regret to have used up most my family's wealth. I am without any savings. What now?
  • I want to manage my inheritance resourcefully/ optimally. ​
  • The taxes are too high.  We cannot afford to keep the family home that has been with us for over 3 generations.
  • My brother wants to sell the vineyard. I do not. How can we solve this?
