Personal Inheritance Management from a deeper perspective

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?

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?

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?
