This webinar focused on creating a welcoming environment for members of the LGBTQ community. Presented by Lee Carpenter, an attorney whose practice includes a special emphasis on the unique needs of members of the LGBTQ community, participants will learn how to speak with LGBTQ individuals without causing offense, understand how LGBTQ life experiences and planning needs may differ, and identify ways to avoid unintentional bias. The many benefits of marriage will also be discussed in an estate-planning context. Participants will leave the session prepared to work with same-sex couples and other LGBTQ individuals with new understanding and confidence.
