Who We Serve

Inheritance Support

Losing a loved one is hard. We help you navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with receiving an inheritance.

Receiving an inheritance can be a complicated life event that results in a new level of financial freedom and flexibility, requiring thoughtful stewardship through time. Our job as wealth advisors is to help you understand how you can effectively and sustainably use your wealth to live the life that you envision. We believe inheriting money also presents an opportunity to honor your family’s legacy and to take pride in becoming a responsible steward of your family’s wealth.

 

Inheriting wealth can be both a blessing and a curse, as our relationships with money can be both healthy and destructive.

  • Inheriting money may enable you to:
    • Eliminate financial debt;
    • Pursue a new career;
    • Buy a home; or
    • Feel more secure in starting a family.
  • Inheriting money can result in feelings of guilt, confusion, or a new source of stress.
    • Inherited wealth can put you on an unstable financial path if you do not match your lifestyle to your wealth.
    • It is important to consider the tax implications of a wealth transfer.

Nick's Story

Nick was 34 years old when his mom passed away from cancer. He suddenly inherited $2.4 million dollars from his mother’s estate, and in that moment, the last thing he wanted to do was think about money.

Nick's Challenge

Nick was engaged and contemplating a career change when his mother passed away. He understood that he needed to organize his finances before starting a family and pursuing his dream of becoming a teacher, but the newfound complexity of his financial situation was overwhelming. Nick’s inherited assets were primarily individual stocks with large capital gains held in trust. He was stressed about the tax implications of pulling money out of his portfolio.

Our Solution

We built a plan and investment portfolio that empowered Nick to start a family just as he was about to make a career change. We also helped him and his fiancé identify the down payment they could comfortably afford on a new home without sacrificing their long-term financial security.
