There is a moment nobody warns you about.
A sudden diagnosis. A medical emergency. A relationship that ends without warning.
And in that moment, everyone around you is scrambling to answer questions that should have already been answered.
Who can make medical decisions if she cannot?
Who can access her accounts?
Where is her will?
Does anyone even know where to find her documents?
This is not a hypothetical. It happens. And it happens to smart, organised, capable women who simply never got around to putting the right things in place.
That is exactly why I invited two exceptional lawyers into the herCircle for our next expert session.
Aline Wey Speirs is a Partner in the Dispute Resolution team at Charles Russell Speechlys Zürich, specialising in litigation, mediation and arbitration with a focus on international commercial disputes and family law.
Alice Martin is a cross-border estate planning lawyer at Charles Russell Speechlys Zürich, advising international families and trustees with UK, US and Swiss connections on succession, tax and estate planning.
