Passion Assets & Legacy: Preserving the Stories Behind Your Treasures | NAPLES | March 5

Your most meaningful assets often aren’t the ones listed on a beneficiary form. They’re the items that tell your story — the art you’ve collected, the jewelry you’ve loved, the wine or sports card collection you curated, even the cherished heirlooms tucked into your china cabinet. And yes, even your pets. Yet these “passion assets” are frequently the most overlooked in estate and transition planning. Join us at Naples Bay Resort & Marina for this intimate, interactive presentation.
