Alison Carnie – Principal at Edward Jones
Because of the pandemic, there is a lot more openness and
willingness to talk about end of life planning, preferences, health
care, and finances. For 44 million Americans, these were
first time conversations.
Alison Carnie serves as director of Trust Services and Chief Administration Officer of the Edward Jones Trust Company. During the Covid-19 pandemic, one third of U.S. adults had a conversation with close family members about their end-of-life plans and preferences. That is according to a new study from financial services firm Edward Jones in partnership with Age Wave and Harris Poll. For 44.5 million Americans (18%), this was the first time they had discussions about finances, health and legal plans. She is responsible for trust administration, estate settlement services and trust special asset administration. Carnie first joined Edward Jones in 2006 as an intern in the legal and business development departments of Edward Jones Trust Company. After graduating from law school, she worked as an associate at a St. Louis-based law firm focused on estate planning. In 2012, Carnie returned to Edward Jones as a wealth strategist and team leader in the Client Consultation Group, which is responsible for partnering with financial advisors in working with high-net-worth clients with complex needs. Carnie received her bachelor’s degree in human and organizational development from Vanderbilt University and received her Juris Doctorate from St. Louis University School of Law.
