We will look at the growing trend of passing on values before passing on wealth that is taking hold. With upwards of $1 trillion expected to be passed down as soon as 2026, Canadians have concerns about how a future inheritance will impact their heirs and 1/3 say their children don’t have the financial literacy to effectively manage a windfall.
Join us, and our special guests Aileen and Stephanie, as we talk about the importance of sharing knowledge and values with our loved ones to prepare them for the transfer of wealth. We’ll look at what can go wrong in wealth transfer, what goes well, and explore which values are most important to you. We hope you will join us in sharing stories and resources to support learning and connection. We have so much to learn from one another!
