At 10:30 a.m., Private Wealth Partner David Allen will moderate, and Private Wealth Partner and Global Chair Joshua Rubenstein will serve as a panelist, on "Guarding the Golden Years: Navigating Capacity, Scams, and the Art of Protecting Vulnerable Clients." The panel will bring together leading practitioners to discuss the threat of financial exploitation, undue influence and romance scams that aging Americans face.

At 11:45 a.m., Josh will present the "Planning for the Modern Family" session.
At 3:45 p.m., Private Wealth Partner Nicholas Heuer will speak on "Ethical Fault Lines in Modern Private Wealth Representation." The program will examine real-world ethical dilemmas facing trusts and estates counsel, including secret communications from individual family members, joint representation risks, fiduciary versus beneficiary tensions, and the unique complications created by international families and family office governance structures.
