SESSIONS
Main Stage Panel: Defining the Family for the Future – Speaker
Planning for the financial future of your family enterprise requires you to envision how the family might grow and evolve. How many family members might there be a few generations out? Should stepchildren, unmarried partners, etc. be included in the definition of “family”? Does your family need a prenuptial agreement policy? Panelists will describe the frameworks they used to address these questions.
Please note: You can ask questions anytime during the presentation by using the Q&A box. Questions will be marked as “waiting for review.” We will get to as many questions as possible.
If you prefer, you can minimize the Q&A window.
