Estate Planning

Protecting your hard-earned wealth matters to us as much as helping you grow it.  We collaborate with you and, when appropriate, your attorney and tax professional in order to develop and execute a cohesive and successful game plan.

Your wealth’s evolution generally follows this sequence:

Accumulation > Preservation > Transition

We carefully consider each of these important phases as part of your Estate Planning.

Gifting & Charitable Giving

We can help magnify the difference you make in the lives of loved ones and for charitable organizations, while minimizing your tax burden.  We use a variety of proven strategies, such as highly appreciated stock gifts, Donor Advised Funds, and Qualified Charitable Donations.

Education Funding

We fully support investing in higher education, but that can come with quite a price tag. Don’t let this deter you. We project costs from kindergarten through graduate school, and identify the best, most tax-efficient funding plan. While college is a common goal, this also includes advanced education in trade, technical, and professional schools. 529 savings plan are often the best solution, but not in all cases. We will thoughtfully guide you through this important financial goal.
