WASHINGTON, D.C. ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

Thank you to our luncheon sponsors 

Many of the concepts which shape our approach to estate planning are products of a dramatically different era, one in which the majority of families were nuclear families with biological or adopted children. These “traditional” families represent about one third of today’s American households. Another third are households without children. The remaining third are “modern” families, comprising blended, multi-generational, same sex, or single parent households.  Over 70% of modern families believe that financial and estate planning is designed for traditional families.

This session will lay a foundation for reexamining the estate planning paradigm to meet today's families' needs. It will explore the implications for estate planning and wealth allocation, trust design and management, end-of-life issues and mortality assumptions, and family collaboration and decision making in light of these generational attributes and demographic changes.
