Description

Bats in the Belfry, Ghosts in the Attic, Skeletons in the Closet: Becoming a Beacon of Hope for our Clients

Even the most astute and thoughtful among us can lose sight of issues which, if not addressed, threaten to destroy the stability of the family enterprise. This interactive, case-focused presentation addresses “the ghosts in the room” and secrets in the family that can undermine family harmony and the legal, financial, ownership and business considerations of estate planning. The presenters, Patricia M. Annino, Esq., a Boston attorney, and Gerard J. Donnellan, PhD, an organizational psychologist, will discuss multi-disciplinary collaboration, the difficulties of this work and the tools and models they find most useful. 

A continental breakfast will be served from 7:30-8am, and will be followed by our distinguished speakers.
