Your Legacy Won't Plan Itself: Estate Planning for Families, Individuals, & Small Businesses
Date: Wed, June 10th 2026
Time: 12 PM ET
Location: Zoom | Info provided upon registration
About: Don't Die Without a Plan. Most people know they need an estate plan. Very few actually have one. Over 55% of Americans die without a will, trust, or any legal protection in place — leaving their families to navigate courts, conflict, and confusion during the hardest moments of their lives. Join estate planning attorney Sabine Franco, Esq., CEO and Founder of The Ambitious Legacy Firm, P.C., for 60 minutes of real, practical education on how to protect everything you've worked for.
What You’ll Learn:
→ Wills, trusts, and what you actually need (and what you don't)
→ What happens to your estate if you get seriously ill or die without a plan
→ How to protect your loved ones and make sure your wishes are honored
→ Why your business needs its own succession and protection plan
→ The difference between probate and estate administration — and how to help your family avoid the long, costly court process
→ Asset protection strategies for individuals and business owners
Whether you're just starting to think about estate planning or you have a plan that needs updating, this session will give you the clarity to take your next step.
This Event is for you if…
You're a parent, spouse, or caregiver who wants to protect your family
You're a business owner who hasn't set up a succession plan
You're an individual who keeps putting this off and knows you need to get it done
You've recently experienced a life change — marriage, a new child, a new business, or the loss of a loved one
You simply want to understand your options with no pressure and no jargon

THE WI UNION PROJECT: SMALL BUSINESS SURVEY 2026
We are not a niche market. We are one unified force. Corporations and investors see the Caribbean diaspora as dozens of small, disconnected markets, Jamaican here, Haitian there, Trinidadian somewhere else. That fragmentation costs us contracts, funding, and political power. The Wi Union Project Small Business Survey (SBS) is the first effort to count us together. One dataset. One voice. One undeniable number that walks into every boardroom in America and says: this is what we're worth. The SBS will also collect data on innovation, technology, intellectual property, and financing from the U.S.-based companies of all sizes.
