How does our cultural background influence how we think about legacy? How does it show up in estate, financial and philanthropic planning? How do our experiences and worldviews affect how legacy is defined for successive generations? This discussion explores rituals and traditions and how they connect to the notion of legacy. We’ll dive into deep conversations using practical examples to examine how to effectively help clients integrate the past into their present and future plans.
