This webinar explores how clearly documented wealth transfer intentions can reduce family conflict, align expectations, and support a smooth transition of assets across generations. We’ll discuss practical strategies for articulating intent, integrating it into estate and financial planning, and ensuring your legacy reflects both your values and long-term goals. Ideal for advisors and families seeking greater clarity and continuity in wealth planning.


Today's Speaker

Ray Odom brings more than three decades of experience in trust, estate, and tax law to his practice at Hoogendoorn & Talbot LLP-marking his second tenure with the firm.

Throughout his career, Ray has guided individuals, families and charitable institutions through sophisticated wealth-transfer and estate-planning strategies. His work integrates deep technical knowledge of tax law and trust administration with a nuanced understanding of family-wealth dynamics and fiduciary governance.
