August 12, 2024

Attorney Candace Dellacona, practice group leader of Offit Kurman's Estates and Trusts Practice Group, was recently featured on the "Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More" podcast. In this episode, Candace discusses how to protect your family's wealth and legacy while juggling the responsibilities of the "Sandwich Generation."

Candace delves into the challenges faced by those "stuck in the middle"—caring for aging parents while also supporting their own children. She provides invaluable advice on managing the emotional and financial pressures that come with these dual responsibilities.

Throughout the episode, Candace explains how proper estate planning can serve as a powerful tool for safeguarding assets and protecting wealth. She discusses the various legal instruments, from advanced directives to trusts, that clients can utilize to ensure financial security and proper asset management. The conversation also highlights trustees' crucial role in protecting high-income earners, athletes, and beneficiaries from poor financial decisions, particularly as they age.

In addition to her focus on the Sandwich Generation, Candace also spoke about the tailored services offered to high-net-worth clients and athletes. She emphasized the importance of customizing estate plans to meet the unique needs of these individuals, particularly in protecting significant assets and managing complex financial portfolios. Candace's insights offer strategies for ensuring long-term financial stability and legacy preservation for those with substantial wealth.

Reflecting on her appearance, Candace shared, "It was an honor to join Karen Covy on the podcast and discuss the unique challenges faced by the sandwich generation. I hope this conversation helps listeners feel more empowered and prepared to make decisions that protect their families and secure their financial futures."

    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.
