Wednesday, August 26, 2026

12 to 1 p.m. CT

 

You’re encouraged to share this event with friends, colleagues, and family members.

Talking to your family about money, estate plans, and inheritance can feel uncomfortable. But done well, a structured family meeting can reduce uncertainty, build trust, and make sure the people you love are prepared for the future. Join us online for a practical framework for leading a family conversation that actually works.

Topics We’ll Cover

  • What makes a family meeting “A-level”
  • When to hold one and why timing matters
  • How to prepare: agenda, family dynamics, and ground rules
  • Navigating financial transparency: the case for sharing numbers (and for not)
  • Gifting, education, and values conversations
  • Common mistakes to avoid

Who Should Attend

This session is designed for those who:

  • Want to have meaningful conversations with their adult children about the family’s financial future
  • Have an estate plan in place but haven’t yet explained it to their family
  • Are navigating a major transition such as retirement, a business sale, or a significant inheritance
  • Are looking to reduce uncertainty and build alignment across generations
