Next in Line is a weekly newsletter for advisors, brought to you by Herbie, covering the practical yet consequential interaction between estate planning and family dynamics.
Abbie lives in Denver with her two children in middle school. She’s been divorced for many years. Abbie moved to Denver from the East Coast when she was in college and has stayed ever since.
Abbie’s life is filled with adventure. Weekends are spent outdoors hiking and white-water rafting. Her kids love their school and friends, and their beloved black lab.
