ADVISORS DISCUSSING COLLABORATION WITH CASE STUDIES

PANEL: DOTTI REEDER, LAUREL STEPHENSON, JOHN KARLS, ROSS SIMS

  Sponsored by Parkland Foundation and Frost Bank

 

The panelists will suggest ways in which a client’s team of advisors may work in a more collaborative manner. The panelists will equip advisors to communicate more effectively with one another, respect each other’s role, facilitate each other’s efforts, and work more cohesively as a team. With the use of case studies, the panelists will discuss the differing ways in which a client’s advisors typically approach an estate planning misstep or opportunity, explain how a lack of coordination in those advisors’ efforts could undermine the client’s goals, and suggest ways in which advisors may work more collaboratively in achieving the client’s objectives. Laurel Stephenson is a founding Member of Davis Stephenson, PLLC. She specializes in estate planning for high net worth individuals and multiā€generational families. She works with her clients to develop estate plans tailored to preserve, protect, and transfer the wealth they spent their lives accumulating in a manner designed to fulfill their unique objectives.
