Tuesday, July 7, 2026   12pm-1:30pm: Financial Planning for Two Generations: Supporting Aging Loved Ones While Building the Team to Carry On

Financial planning is not just about numbers — it’s about continuity, care, and protecting the people who matter most. For families with aging parents, adult children with disabilities, or both, planning must address two generations at once. This session explores how to coordinate financial, legal, and caregiving decisions to support today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s transitions.

The webinar will discuss:

– Planning for longevity, healthcare, and long-term care expenses

– Preserving eligibility for government benefits

– Structuring trusts and estate plans to provide lifelong support

– Funding strategies to sustain care over time

– Identifying and empowering the next generation of decision-makers

– Building a coordinated team — trustees, guardians, advisors, care managers, and family members — to carry the plan forward

True multi-generational planning means ensuring that when one generation can no longer lead, the next is ready — financially, legally, and emotionally. Because the most thoughtful plans don’t just transfer assets. They transfer stability, clarity, and care.
