Next Step After Risk Literacy • Before Patrick Devine Series

Family Office Series

Private Operations, Administration, and Compliance Foundations

The Family Office Series is the bridge curriculum that comes after the Private Foundations & Risk Literacy Series and before the Patrick Devine Series. Its purpose is to build administrative discipline, records control, and operational governance so students do not collapse their structure through identity confusion, poor documentation, or premature “system interface” claims.

Alignment With Private Path Doctrine
The Family Office is not the trust.
The trust is not you.
Administration always comes first.

This framework harmonizes with fiduciary law, avoids sovereign traps, supports Patrick-aligned private administration.
