SUMMARY:Family Meetings and Governance in Woodland Legacy Planning (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Register today\nYour registration confirmation email will have the details you need to join the meeting. \nJuly 14\n7:00 – 8:00 p.m. ET \nMost private woodland owners wish to keep their land in the family and intact into the future. Unfortunately\, many of these woodlands will not remain in the family. The biggest risk to a successful transfer from one generation to the next\, is a lack of communication coupled with challenging family dynamics. Family lands can fail to make it to the next generation because the family cannot resolve differences or failed to address them during the lifetime of the owner(s). By starting the conversation now\, holding family meetings and establishing a system of governance\, you can leave a long-term woodland legacy for the use and enjoyment of your family. \nDr. Mary Sisock and Audrey Winograd\, JD\, MSW\, experts on land legacy planning\, will discuss the principles and processes of effective family meetings and governance. This presentation is for all woodland owners at any stage of the succession planning process. There will be time for Q&A. \nThis webinar is sponsored by Kings Point Capital Management and hosted by Vermont Woodlands Association.
