Candace Dellacona Empowers Sandwich Generation Women with Legal Strategies in The Legal Intelligencer

Candace Dellacona, a principal and shareholder in the firm’s Estates and Trusts Practice Group, was recently featured in The Legal Intelligencer discussing how women in the Sandwich Generation can manage the complex and demanding dual caregiving roles they often face. In her article, Dellacona addressed the unique challenges these women encounter, including emotional, logistical, and financial strains, while also highlighting practical legal strategies to help them thrive.

Women in the Sandwich Generation—responsible for both aging parents and children—often struggle to balance their caregiving duties, their careers, and their own well-being. Dellacona outlined how this juggling act can lead to significant burnout and stress.

“The challenges can feel overwhelming, but with the right tools in place, women can protect their families and find balance,” Dellacona wrote. She emphasized the importance of strategic planning and self-care, which can enable women to protect themselves and their families.

    Artful Donations: Exploring Museum Exchange
    In this episode of The Legal Canvas, host Caryn Keppler welcomes Robert Wainstein and Michael Darling, co-founders of Museum Exchange, the first digital platform dedicated to facilitating art donations to museums and nonprofit institutions across North America. Together, they explore how technology is transforming the way collectors, artists, estates, and cultural organizations connect through charitable giving. Robert and Michael explain the inspiration behind Museum Exchange, the challenges they set out to solve, and how the platform has grown into a network of more than 400 museums. They walk listeners through the donation process—from evaluating artwork and matching donors with institutions to handling logistics, documentation, and tax considerations. Along the way, they discuss the realities of museum collecting, why many donations are declined, and how thoughtful placements can help preserve artists' legacies while expanding access to important works of art. The conversation also explores Museum Exchange's work with living artists, artist estates, hospitals, universities, and smaller regional museums, as well as the launch of the Charis Foundation for the Arts, a nonprofit designed to steward significant collections before placing them with institutions that can best benefit from them. Robert and Michael conclude by sharing their vision for the future of charitable art transactions and how Museum Exchange is helping reshape philanthropy in the arts for generations to come.
