Come and watch the Oscar-nominated film: The Post. Katharine Graham (played by Meryl Streep) is the first female publisher of a major American newspaper—The Washington Post. With help from editor Ben Bradlee (played by Tom Hanks), Graham races to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four U.S. presidents. Together, they must overcome their differences as they risk their careers—and very freedom—to help bring long-buried truths to light. The Post was directed by Steven Spielberg.

Family dynamics can make estate planning a breeze or a nightmare. Your estate plan is your personal business, but is there a right time to share this with your children and other family members? During this presentation, we will discuss what could and should be shared with family members, when the appropriate time to share could be and how to provide this information to family. As with any complicated matter, these decisions will vary from family to family. Let’s help you come up with a plan that best suits you!
