PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Addressing the Human and Technical Aspects of Planning to Meet the Evolving Needs of UHNW Families." Drawing from over 20 years of experience working closely with single family offices and ultra-high-net-worth families, Jim will explore the often-overlooked human elements of wealth planning and estate management. While technical strategies like asset protection and tax efficiency are crucial, this talk will highlight the importance of understanding the emotional and relational impacts of financial decisions on families. Attendees will gain practical insights on how to balance these technical aspects with a deeper sensitivity to the human needs of their clients, ensuring that wealth plans not only preserve financial capital but also enhance family harmony and legacy. This session is designed for professionals seeking to elevate their practice by integrating a holistic approach to wealth management.
