Here’s the tea

Ladies’ Estate Planning Tea™ was founded by Aquanetta Betts, who has worked as an attorney, and charitable advisor. After years of working with women and families who traditionally had not been in conversations about estate planning, she saw a need to address this area.

Over the years, she has heard far too many excuses – that do not hold water. For example, I do not have much, my children will do the right thing, or why should I care? You too have heard these excuses, and you have often watched the disastrous outcome from such mistakes when things fall apart because there was no plan in place for loved ones to follow.

Stop the havoc

The lack of estate planning in many communities often wreaks havoc: family harmony ruined for generations, wealth accumulation destroyed, and charitable folks fail to continue their legacy of giving to their favorite causes. In an effort to dispel the myths that only the wealthy with big bank accounts and lots of assets should have an estate plan – Aquanetta believes in getting the message out that estate planning is for “us all”. Yes, that means you too.

Stay encouraged

Aquanetta finds encouragement from three women – all born in the early 1900s. Only one of the women had a high school diploma, one had a 7th grade education, and the other less than that. What they all had in common was an estate plan that they left as a roadmap for their families, and favorite causes. One of the women left scholarship funds for students who need financial assistance to complete their degrees (yet this generous women never graduated high school or had a high paying career).

Find your flavor

Estate planning comes in many flavors like ice cream (plain vanilla, fruity strawberry or spicy chocolate – often loaded with lots of toppings). Similar to your favorite tea flavor – perhaps bold and sweet, subtle and green, or herbal tones – your life, family dynamics, and what you want all go into the cup.

The conversation starts now. Whether it is a fancy afternoon tea with hats and gloves or a relaxed denim and pearls affair – the message is still the same. We have put together helpful resources, coaching sessions, workshops, and trainings to help you create your roadmap for your loved ones. Ladies’ Estate Planning Tea™ will inspire, inform, and empower you to put your estate plan in place.
