Legacy Wealth Planning

OVERVIEW:

• Building wealth is about achieving the freedom to allocate your time and resources to those people and pursuits that are most fulfilling to you.
• It is never too early (or too late) to establish a plan for preserving and passing on your wealth to future generations.
• Building a plan ensures that your assets are properly and efficiently distributed to your heirs in accordance with your values and wishes.
• The purpose of legacy wealth planning is to:
  • Clarify your goals and values;
  • Foster communication, education, and collaboration with your family and those people who are directly impacted by your wealth;
  • Mitigate the possibility of surprises, stress, confusion, and adverse financial events for both you and your heirs.
• Legacy wealth planning is part of the Estate Planning process and goes beyond the legal issues that inevitably arise from death or incapacitation.
