Paul Schervish will review the new directions in the money, meaning, and motivations, of wealth holders in the 21st century that make estate planning a biographical event. He will speak about the meaning of a moral biography of wealth and summarize the current patterns of charitable giving and how the forthcoming transfer of wealth has the potential to open a floodgate of philanthropy over the next several decades. He will then describe how philanthropy is a social relation of care in which people identify with the needs of others and set out the key motivations that incline wealth holders toward increased charitable giving and other forms of personal care. Finally, he will elaborate the process of biographical conversations whereby legal professionals can guide wealth holders through a process of conscientious discernment that clarifies their capacity and aspirations of care for others. Legal professionals will learn how to make estate planning more spiritually fulfilling for wealth holders, more lucrative for charities, and more professionally rewarding for themselves.
