In a significant initiative aimed at enhancing financial literacy, FBNQuest Trustees Limited, a subsidiary of First HoldCo Plc that specializes in trust solutions for individuals, corporations, and government bodies, recently held its first-ever Estate Planning Summit in Port Harcourt.

The event, titled “Wealth Preservation and Transfer without Hassle,” was designed to equip participants with essential knowledge for managing and successfully transferring their assets and legacies to their beneficiaries.

During the summit, Babajide Fetuga, Acting Managing Director of FBNQuest Trustees, emphasized the critical nature of professional guidance in estate planning. He explained that a well-structured estate plan eliminates ambiguity by providing clear instructions on asset management and distribution.

“The risks of not having an estate plan are significant,” Fetuga warned. “They can lead to ongoing family disputes and prolonged court battles, creating financial burdens and fostering long-lasting resentments among family members if proactive measures are not taken to shield loved ones from unnecessary stress.”

He stressed the importance of understanding wealth preservation and having a strategic estate planning framework. “Our goal is to empower you with knowledge that not only informs but inspires action as you prepare for the future,” he added.

FBNQuest Trustees is committed to promoting effective estate planning solutions and has previously hosted successful summits in cities like Abuja, Lagos, Minna, and Ibadan. The company actively engages in educating the public on the importance of thoughtful estate planning through initiatives such as the Legacy Series Campaign and the Legacy Room podcast.

The summit showcased a lineup of industry experts who provided valuable insights on wealth preservation and transfer, specifically tailored for the residents of Port Harcourt and surrounding areas. The discussions centered on practical strategies and proactive steps that attendees can implement to manage their estates efficiently and mitigate potential challenges in the future.
