Closing the racial wealth gap requires more than conversation—it requires collaboration, policy, and action.
The Association of Black Estate Planning Professionals (ABEPP) welcomed Maryland Delegate N. Scott Phillips for an important conversation about the policies and partnerships that can help families build, protect, and transfer wealth across generations.
Delegate Phillips discussed efforts including Maryland’s Transfer on Death Deed, initiatives supporting minority-owned businesses, heirs property, disparities in home appraisals, and the importance of connecting communities with the institutions and professionals already positioned to help.
One message was clear: no single profession, organization, or policy can solve the racial wealth gap alone.
Attorneys, financial professionals, policymakers, churches, HBCUs, businesses, and community leaders all have a role to play—and ABEPP is committed to helping build those connections.
🎥 Watch the conversation.
