Key Quotes:

  • “In family businesses, really good estate plans can fall short or get outdated very quickly. They’re designed with one goal in mind: preserve the family business. This creates this awful dilemma—not thinking about the implications for the beneficiaries.”
  • “For younger women, it’s about knowing yourself, how you make decisions, and how you maximize your voice in the process.”
  • “I’m a big believer that you should understand the landscape (of advisors)—meeting with other advisors, lawyers… not your father’s. It’s important for daughters to understand where the conflicts lie and where the allegiances lie.”
