Family Succession Planning
"When passing on values is more important than passing on money, wealth becomes generational."
We recognize that your financial well-being extends far beyond just your investments and retirement goals. That is why we’ve created a special Family Succession Plan offering to serve your family more completely. By taking the time to build a relationship with you and your family, we are able to help you make the best decisions in all aspects of your financial life. We collaborate with professionals from other disciplines to provide you with the scale of planning, advice, and resources that other practices simply can’t provide. Our extensive network of trusted advisors all work together to help you accomplish your financial goals.

How We Work
The benefits of this level of planning for our clients versus a less comprehensive and coordinated approach can be significant financially as well as emotionally through a sense of security.
Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your family's history and values. Long-term relationships that encourage open and honest communication have been the cornerstone of our foundation of success.
In addition to our core comprehensive financial planning services, this experience includes:
Tax Strategies:
- Simplify the complex tax-code and suggest multiple strategies designed to lower your tax-burden
- Work closely with your CPA or tax-professional (or introduce you to one we trust) to ensure they know everything about your financial life––your goals for the future, family situation, cash-flow projections
- Implement the optimal tax strategies available
- Use our in-house national resources with expertise in tax and law to review your situation from a tax perspective and provide feedback
- Continue to provide critical coordination over time that can result in significant savings and increased financial value
Estate Planning Strategies:
Walk you through our estate planning process to identify what you want to accomplish from a high-level perspective.
Understand your financial, personal, and family situations––both now and projections for the future––to help you think through your options to develop a strategy that you are comfortable with
Meet with you and a well-matched estate planning attorney to communicate your goals and make sure the high-level strategy gets put into action
Review initial document drafts to ensure that nothing is missing, everything is in order, and the process is carried out correctly
Ensure after the documents are drafted that the rest of your estate planning––such as beneficiaries and titling––is accurate.
Help you implement family meetings to prepare the next generation for the wealth they may be inheriting.
