Your legacy transcends money—it also encompasses your values. An estate plan is an important part of ensuring that your wishes are fullfilled.
Our Managed Estate and Trust Services help to ensure that your assets are protected. Designing a legacy that is consistent with your vision and values is a personal and complex process. Contrary to what many people think, you don’t need to be a millionaire to have an estate plan but you do need a strategy to implement it. We provide full-time, comprehensive management on everything that matters to your estate and trust plans, including changes in regulatory policy and tax laws, and the stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and other marketable securities within the trust account. There is literally no other way to take care of something as important as your legacy and your future.

Estate Planning
Your legacy transcends money—it also encompasses your values. A plan is an important part of your ongoing financial goals. Trust and Estate Planning is an integral part of our Three-Phase financial planning process, which analyzes all areas of your financial goals. We begin by understanding your personal and financial circumstances, and by helping you identify and select your goals. After we analyze your current course of action, we suggest alternative courses, develop, present, and implement our recommendations, and follow through with ongoing monitoring and updating of your account assets.
