Don't Let the Family Drama Scare You

Family dynamics can be one of the most challenging parts of estate and charitable planning. For professionals working with families, donors, and clients, understanding how to navigate those dynamics can be just as important as understanding the technical aspects of a plan.

Join the Planned Giving Council of Lee County for a timely and engaging luncheon exploring the family dynamics that can influence estate planning, financial decisions, and charitable giving.
