Thursday, June 19

Wealth purposefully transferred from one generation to the next is not limited to your material assets. Some of your greatest wealth resides within you and is too valuable to be lost. An Ethical Will is an excellent and easy way to share this wealth. Join Sara Elward to explore what an Ethical Will is and is not and take some initial steps towards creating one. Transfering your values and beliefs to those you love is just as important as transferring your financial assets.
