I am Collia Barnaby, TEP - a Trust and Estate Practitioner with over 12 years of experience in financial services and estate planning education. I founded The Legacy Dialogue because I saw too many families - especially immigrant families - navigating one of the most important decisions of their lives without the clarity or confidence they deserved. My role is not to replace your lawyer or financial advisor. It is to make sure you are ready for them.
