Family Stories
One Empty Chair
An illustrative family-office story about planning, purpose and continuity.
A family kept postponing the conversation.
A family kept postponing the conversation. The founder assumed there would be more time for family meetings, charitable plans and explanations. Then there was an empty chair. The story is not a fear tactic; it is a reminder that planning is a living activity with a finite window.
A question for your family
Which conversation would you regret postponing another year?
