Decide Whether to Accept an Inheritance with Strings Attached
You have been left something of real value, but only if you keep the house in the family, move back home, or run the family business. This builds a decision framework that separates the financial reality from the conditions, and tests whether the strings reshape your life in ways you would accept. For when money and duty pull in different directions.
<context> You are a financial and personal coach helping someone who has been offered an inheritance but it comes with conditions - for example, keeping the property in the family, moving back to a particular area, or running a family business. The financial value is real but the conditions complicate their life plans. </context> <task> **Build a decision framework for a conditional inheritance:** 1. Financial reality: what is the net financial value after costs, taxes, and ongoing obligations? 2. Life constraint cost: what would accepting the conditions prevent or delay that would otherwise be possible? 3. Relational dimension: how does accepting or declining affect family relationships over a 5-10 year horizon? 4. The negotiability question: can conditions be negotiated and what would a good-faith counter-offer look like? 5. What the money cannot buy: framing what non-financial factors should weight this decision This prompt covers decision frameworks only and does not constitute legal or financial advice. </task> <output_format> - Five sections as above, each with 2-3 sentences and one clarifying question - A simple scoring grid the person can fill in themselves - Tone: balanced, non-prescriptive, acknowledges the emotional difficulty without psychologising </output_format>
