what you've worked hard to create.
Legacy, Meaning and Impact
We help you develop a framework for the meaning and impact you wish to create from a legacy that transcends the mere transfer of your money and property. We help you convey your desires, wishes and intentions for your posterity and provide clarity about your hopes for how your residual financial wealth will intersect their lives.
Aspirational Wealth Transfer
We help you consider if you have desirable and empowering strategies in place to help provide benefits for the people you care about and love, and the causes and organizations that are important to you. It can easily be a delicate balance between creating a wealth transfer plan with benefits that result in beneficiaries reaching for personal growth and potential or becoming complacent and disconnected from ambition.
Intention/Strategy Alignment
We help you align your investment strategies and identify appropriate investment time horizons with the duration of your wealth transfer and protection plans. Problems can quickly arise when investment strategies are misaligned with the desires, wishes and intentions of the trustmakers. We help you communicate and connect the most predominantly missing explanation of the “why” of your plans with the “who, how and when” directives.
Communication and Education
We help you consider and determine the appropriate content and timing of information to share about your estate plan with your beneficiaries to help create shared understanding, foster appreciation and gratitude, and help avoid the miscommunication, disappointment and conflict that can flow from an evolution of unguided beneficiary preparation toward debilitating anticipation, expectation, entitlement and dependency.
Stakeholder Alignment and Collaboration
We help build a framework for stakeholder alignment and collaboration among trustors, income and remaindermen beneficiaries, trustees, trust advisors, trust protectors and tax and legal advisors to help bridge the gap between formulation and operation of the estate plan and a ensure everyone has a clear picture of accountability and authority to achieve operational success.
Life Estate Plan
We help you establish the plans for taking care of you and your estate in the ever more common occurrence that you are unable to manage your affairs due to accident, illness, incapacity or cognitive decline. You are very likely to need an estate plan while you are living but unable to manage your affairs and provide for those who depend on you. These are essential aspects and components of your estate plan and your planning efforts.
Fiduciary Safeguards
We help you protect you and your beneficiaries from operational challenges and misfires. There are many stakeholders and roles in every trust and estate plan ‒ trustors, trustees, trust advisors, trust protectors, income beneficiaries and remaindermen. There are also choices for tax, legal and regulatory jurisdictions. We help educate you about the use, value, cost and administrative differences of the choices available.
Tactical Reviews and Analyses
We review how you hold title to your assets, tax jurisdiction exposures, timing of potential transactions, prohibited transaction tripwires, potential tax compliance requirements and costs, potential outcomes under various economic scenarios and opportunities to shift income, transfer assets or both to the next or succeeding generations during your lifetime.
Wealth Transfer Taxes
We create studies, analyses and estimates of possible future wealth transfer tax costs that might arise from existing and alternative transfer plans and strategies under different economic and family scenarios to help uncover and identify paths to lower tax and administrative costs in implementing your wealth transfer plans. We help you identify more optimal paths to maximize the protection and transfer of your estate.It's just part of what we do.
