SESSIONS

Concurrent Workshop #1 | Shoring Up The Foundation – Checking for Cracks in Your Family Enterprise Speaker

Your family business may have stabilized after the economic, health and societal upheavals of 2020, but have you checked the “foundation” of the rest of your family enterprise?  Have you re-examined the fundamentals of your estate plans, your family governance and all the related decisions that impact its sustainability?  Multi-generational families operate within a complex web of legal agreements, financial structures, and organizational and family dynamics, and a family’s plans require regular testing and maintenance to be sure they function smoothly during times of maximum stress. 

We will share what other families have found when they went through this process – situations where trustees and successors are all from the same generation, or children from a first marriage inherit control of a family vacation home that a second spouse is supposed to use.  Hear those stories and share your own challenges and solutions.
