Estate Planning Strategies

As your wealth grows, so does the complexity of your estate planning. Let us help you protect your legacy and provide for the people and causes you care about.

Client Centered

When you’ve worked hard to build something meaningful, whether it’s a business, a career, or a multigenerational legacy—you want an estate plan that’s as intentional and strategic as you are. We help successful families, business owners, and executives design estate strategies that do more than transfer wealth—they reflect your values, protect your loved ones, and preserve your life’s work.

Business Owners

Your business may be your most valuable asset—and your most complex. Whether you plan to sell, transition ownership, pursue other entrepreneurial endeavors, or create liquidity, we help business owners with:

Coordinate your estate plan with your business succession goals while collaborating with your attorneys—all on your terms

Minimize estate and capital gains taxes through entity structuring and gifting strategies including lifetime exemption and GRATS

Set up trusts such as ILITS and foundations to preserve control while meeting philanthropic or family income needs

Prepare heirs or next-generation leadership with clarity and purpose so the vision and values of the business are preserved 

From buy-sell agreements to key person insurance to liquidity analysis—we want you to feel secure that your business can thrive in your absence whether it's a planned or an unplanned departure. 

Executives

You’ve built wealth through concentrated equity positions, performance incentives, and deferred compensation. But these valuable tools often come with estate planning blind spots. We help executives with:


Integrate RSUs, stock options, and deferred comp into your estate strategy


Avoid unintended tax consequences for heirs and reduce net worth volatility


Strategically transfer assets while maintaining flexibility and control


Explore charitable vehicles to reduce your estate tax burden and support causes that matter

You’ve navigated complex compensation packages to grow your wealth—now let’s make sure it’s transferred just as strategically.

Multigenerational Families

When your wealth spans generations, your estate strategy should reflect the full picture—not just financial assets, but family dynamics, values, and long-term intentions. We help families:


Work with your attorneys to establish or refine trusts that support children, grandchildren, or even aging parents



Create governance strategies to prepare heirs and foster responsible stewardship



Facilitate family meetings to align on shared goals and legacy intentions, while navigating generational divides



Implement gifting strategies, including education or home purchase support that are tax favorable


Whether your goals are philanthropic, educational, or simply to “keep the peace,” we help your estate strategy adapt to your family’s evolving needs.

 You are passing down more than wealth—it is your opportunity to create something that will last for the next generation.
