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!
