Seminar – Susan Turnbull; Introducing Ethical Wills to Clients Sponsored by Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation

Susan Turnbull

Join the Berkshire County Estate Planning Council on Tuesday, Feb. 8, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. for a virtual workshop with Susan Turnbull, who brings a uniquely personal and practical focus to the qualitative aspects of estate, financial and philanthropic planning.

This lively and interactive Zoom event will help professional advisors teach their clients the benefits of writing non-binding personal legacy letters to heirs, successors and trustees. This approach to legacy planning goes beyond mere allocation of financial assets to include the “irreplaceable intangibles” of relationships and personal history, stories, values and experiences. Susan will provide an overview of ethical wills, expressions of donor intent and letters of wishes to trustees, along with practical suggestions for introducing these tools to your clients.

Following your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with your unique Zoom link closer to the event. Please feel free to reach out with any questions to Kelly Sweet at ksweet@berkshiretaconic.org.

This event is sponsored by Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
