Believing that his fortune will be a burden on his children, former Police front man Sting stated that his three daughters and three sons will not inherit much of his wealth, E! Online reported on June 23.

The singer, who is worth about $300 million, told his children that with all his commitments, he will not be leaving them with much money because he plans to spend most of it. Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler, are supporters of several charitable institutions. He praised his children for their hard work ethic, suggesting that they prefer to earn money from their own merit rather than a grandiose inheritance.

Although there are a few who choose not to establish a trust fund, many people see it as a guaranteed way to ensure their children’s future.

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
