Episode 46: The Road to a Second Home is Paved with the Best of Intentions - Biltmore Family Office Head of Estate Planning: Kellie Hall, JD, CAP, and Senior Wealth Planner: Michelle Soto, CPA, CFP®

It's Summer! Time to head to your favorite beach or mountain vacation destination. For many, the dream is to own a vacation getaway. Following a liquidity event, many entrepreneurs buy that dream. They envision ultimately leaving that property to their children to enjoy for years to come. Unbeknownst to them, if not handled properly, these properties can sow the seeds of future family conflict. 

Today, I’m joined by two of my colleagues who specialize in just this sort of thing: Kellie Hall and Michelle Soto. Kellie and Michelle are planning professionals who each have many years of experience guiding families through tricky governance issues. At Biltmore, we frequently see families with treasured intergenerational properties. While these homes and estates can provide families with lifelong memories, they can also be the source of conflict. Over their careers, Kellie and Michelle have seen it all. On this podcast, they provide actionable advice on navigating the pitfalls of shared family vacation properties.
