"Resolving Financial Fights, Family Feuds, and Eldercare Challenges"  Featured Speaker Beville May , JD

Location: Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, 1000 Continental Drive. Suite 694, King of Prussia, PA  19096

Financial professionals who are caught in family crossfire over wealth management of an elder's financial affairs may find themselves in a difficult position in giving effective financial planning advice.  Worst yet, an advisor may find herself on the receiving end of complaints about their past financial advice.  Mediation is an ideal tool for resolving such conflicts out of courts; efficiently and cost effectively.

Join us as Beville May, JD helps us learn how to:

*   Identify sources of family financial conflict

*   Recognize ways in which conflict undermines your role as an advisor

*   Introduce the concept of collaborative conflict resolution

*   Off an alternative to family paralysis over elder care and financial decisions

Beville May is a mediator who has completed advanced training with the Equal Employment Opportunity's (EEOC) National Medication Program in Philadelphia, PA, Elder Decisions in Norwood, MA and the Center for Dispute Settlement in Washington, DC
