Estate planning took center stage in Port Harcourt recently as FBNQuest Trustees Limited, the trust solutions arm of First HoldCo Plc, convened its first-ever Estate Planning Summit in the city — and it wasn’t business as usual.
Under the banner “Wealth Preservation and Transfer Without Hassle,” the event broke down the complexities of estate management into real, relatable conversations for individuals, families, and businesses. No legal jargon. No vague theory. Just clear, actionable guidance on how to preserve wealth and pass it on—minus the courtroom drama.
At the helm was Babajide Fetuga, Acting Managing Director of FBNQuest Trustees, who made a powerful case for proactive estate planning. “We’ve seen how legacies are lost—not because people didn’t work hard, but because they didn’t plan. Estate disputes, family rifts, endless court battles… all avoidable,” he noted, urging attendees to seek professional help early.
Fetuga didn’t shy away from the emotional cost of poor planning, pointing out how unresolved inheritance issues often sow seeds of resentment among loved ones. His message was simple: if you care about your family, you’ll create a clear plan.
The summit attracted residents from across Port Harcourt and nearby towns, offering them expert sessions on creating wills, setting up trusts, and navigating the legal frameworks of wealth transfer. More than education, the atmosphere felt like a wake-up call—an invitation to protect not just assets, but relationships.
This event is part of a broader campaign by FBNQuest Trustees to normalize estate planning in Nigeria. With previous summits held in Lagos, Abuja, Minna, and Ibadan, along with educational platforms like the Legacy Room Podcast and Legacy Series, the company is proving that estate planning doesn’t have to be complicated—or postponed.
In a society where “waiting for tomorrow” is common, FBNQuest Trustees is championing a shift—toward clarity, control, and intentional wealth transfer. In Port Harcourt, that message landed. Loud and clear.
