explore our process

Understand your intentions

We discuss who you want to provide for, what you want to support, and how you would like your assets handled.
Account titling, beneficiary designations, and existing documents may say something different than you assume. We review the current structure to identify what needs attention.
We align beneficiary designations, account structure, and tax considerations so the financial pieces of your estate plan point in the same direction.
Where legal documents are needed, we coordinate with your attorney or help you find one, keeping the financial plan aligned with the legal plan.

Let's talk about what you want to leave behind

Estate planning starts with understanding what matters to you. We are glad to start wherever you are and help connect those priorities with your financial plan.

Why Estate and Legacy Planning is so important for a successful financial plan

What your family receives depends as much on structure as on the size of the estate.
Get Started Today

Your wishes rather than the default

Planning helps connect the distribution of your assets with your intentions rather than leaving important decisions to the default provisions of state law.

Beneficiary designations reviewed

Beneficiary designations can take precedence over a will and are frequently overlooked. Reviewing them helps keep your plan current.

Tax treatment considered

How an asset passes can affect its tax treatment. The structure of your accounts is part of the planning process.

Coordinated with the whole plan

Legacy decisions connect to income, tax, investment, and charitable choices rather than sitting apart from them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Estate and Legacy Planning

Ask a Question
Yes. Estate planning is not only about taxes or the size of your estate. It can determine who receives your assets, who manages your affairs if you cannot, and how other important decisions are handled. Without appropriate documents, many of those decisions are governed by state law.
We are not a law firm and do not draft legal documents. We coordinate with your attorney, or help you find one if needed, and work to keep the financial plan and legal documents consistent with one another.
Any time something significant changes, including a marriage, birth, death, divorce, or substantial change in assets. Beneficiary designations deserve particular attention because they can take precedence over what a will says.
