Integrating the Rising Generation: Drafting and Design For Cohesion Among Purpose, Structure and Operational Governance When Planning the Estate

WEEKLY EDITION • September 9, 2026

In this week’s edition of FFI Practitioner, William Kambas of Withers and Amy Szostak of Northern Trust explore how estate-planning structures can help prepare rising-generation family members to understand, participate in, and eventually steward shared assets. Building on themes developed in two previous contributions from Kambas in the 2026 series, this collaborative article connects purpose, governance, education, and thoughtful drafting to support family cohesion and responsible participation across generations.
