Estate Planning
Even among our most affluent clients it’s not unusual to find investors who assume that having estate planning documents in place is all that is needed to cover their estate planning needs. But there’s far more to estate planning than drawing up will and trust documents with an attorney. This is where our firm can add significant value in helping clients articulate their legacies, coordinate estate planning goals with other advisors including CPAs and attorneys, and develop a viable plan for pursuing their goals.
Yet estate planning may be one of the most complex and difficult areas of planning ever engaged in with a client.
