What's Happening This June (Including France 🇫🇷)
|
Reader, Summer is almost here, and I have several opportunities coming up to learn about estate planning, protecting the people you love, and creating a plan that reflects your values and wishes. Whether you’re married, single, a parent, a business owner, part of an LGBTQ+ family, or someone who simply wants to make things easier for the people they care about, I hope you’ll join me. Upcoming EventsWEBINAR- Planning for the People You Love: Wills, Trusts & Incapacity Planning: The Essential Documents Every Adult Should Have Many people know they “need an estate plan” but aren’t sure where to start. In this complimentary webinar, we’ll cover the basics of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and what happens if you become incapacitated or pass away without a plan in place. Saturday, June 6 Kids R Kids Summer Fest (Avery Ranch) I’ll be hosting a table at Summer Fest and would love to meet local families, answer questions, and share resources for parents who want to protect their children and plan ahead. WEBINAR- Planning for the People You Love: Estate Planning for LGBTQ+ Professionals, Partners & Chosen Family Estate planning isn’t just about money—it’s about making sure the people you love can care for you, advocate for you, and receive what you’ve worked hard to build. We’ll discuss unique planning considerations for LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, families, and chosen family relationships, including healthcare decision-making, incapacity planning, guardianship considerations, and legacy planning. Coming Soon Spilling the Tea on Wills & Trusts A more casual conversation about estate planning, legacy, and protecting the people you love. More details coming soon. Weekly Instagram LiveEvery Thursday at 6:00 PM CST, I host short estate planning conversations on Instagram covering common questions, planning mistakes, and practical tips. These sessions are free, informal, and designed to make estate planning easier to understand. Follow here. Following Along From France 🇫🇷I’ll be traveling to France from June 20 through July 2 to curate a Full Moon Dinner Party at a chateau hosted by an amazing friend and client who's created a safe space for women and non-binary people. It's called Root & Rise and I plan to share a few behind-the-scenes moments, reflections, and possibly a live broadcast or two while abroad with my fiancée, Dr. Stephane Louis, LMFT. If you’d like to follow along, make sure you’re connected with me on Instagram and TikTok so you’ll be notified when I go live.
