Yesterday, Skufca Law was proud to sponsor Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte Her Story luncheon, celebrating the achievements, leadership, and impact of women in the construction industry.
One message came through loud and clear: be confident in the knowledge you have. Women are often natural “helpers”—solving problems, supporting others, and making sure things get done. But being a helper and being a leader are not mutually exclusive. Women bring valuable perspective, intuition, experience, and leadership to the table—and they belong there.
Evan Bermudez had the opportunity to speak with the group about taking that same confidence into estate planning. Women need to be active participants in their estate plans—not simply because they deserve a seat at the table, but because they are statistically more likely to outlive their husbands. In 2024, life expectancy in the U.S. was 81.4 years for women compared with 76.5 years for men.
That means women may ultimately be the ones making important decisions about family, finances, assets, and legacy. Being involved in the plan today matters.
Planning matters. Being prepared matters. And trusting what you know matters.
Thank you, HBAGC, for putting together such a motivating event and for creating a space to celebrate the women helping shape the future of construction. We were proud to be part of it.
