Legacy Bridge exists because money is never just money. It is identity, family history, power, grief, and the stories people tell about who belongs. As wealth moves from one generation to the next, families often discover that the hardest problems are not financial. They are relational. Inheritance can trigger conflict between siblings, identity crises for heirs, grief after the loss of a founder, or deep disagreements about values and purpose. Founded by queer therapist and MBA candidate MJ Merkley, Legacy Bridge brings a behavioral and relational lens to wealth transition. It operates as the third pillar alongside legal and financial advisors, helping families navigate the emotional realities that shape financial outcomes.
