Leaving Your Legacy

Congratulations are in order - You have made it to a point in your life that you feel is secure and now your personal thoughts are centered towards others and their needs. It may be your spouse, your children, grandchildren or a charity of choice. With this desire to help others a dual role is required in the management of your wealth. The primary goal is to protect your standard of living; the second goal is to protect the needs of your beneficiaries.

All of our clients are concerned with the future, and like our clients your needs surpass those of the average person. For many it begins with the assistance of their personal estate attorney, in the preparation and maintenance of the legal requirements, assuring that their legacy is passed on based on personal wishes, along with the minimal amount of tax degradation. We work directly with your attorney to verify that your portfolio is properly aligned and registered in a format that meets the legal requirements of your state.

Once the legal parameters are set we then formulate a strategy. This strategy takes into consideration both your needs, such as cash flow requirements and the time until your legacy is passed on, and the needs and longevity of your beneficiaries through the creation of a benchmark. This benchmark helps maximize the potential and probability of reaching those needs based goals.

Our investment management style provides an easy and simple transition of your assets to your beneficiaries without having to change or appoint a new management team - something that may not be desired during a time of stress. In all cases we will assist your representatives in the orderly transfer of your assets.
