Services / Estate & Legacy Analysis

A will is the start. The accounts have to agree with it.

Many estate problems aren't drafting problems. They're beneficiary forms, titling and business interests that quietly stopped matching the documents. 

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

These override the will.

Retirement accounts, insurance and transfer-on-death registrations pass outside your will entirely. On accounts we manage we review and update these directly. On outside accounts we tell you exactly what to check.

SALE PROCEEDS

What happens after the check clears.

When a business, farm or property sells, the planning question is what the after-tax proceeds have to do for you. We model that against your retirement timeline. Deferral and deal structure stay with your CPA and attorney.

TRUST FUNDING

A trust only controls what's in it.

For the investment accounts we manage, we handle the registration so they're titled the way your attorney intended. For property, business interests and everything else, we flag what looks unfunded so your attorney can address it.

CHARITABLE Giving

Give the same amount, differently.

Qualified charitable distributions, gifting appreciated shares and donor-advised funds each change the tax treatment of money you were already giving. We implement these in the accounts we manage and coordinate the rest with your CPA.

Step one

Gather the documents

Wills, trusts, beneficiary forms, deeds and entity documents, collected in one place.

Step two

Map what happens

A plain-language summary of where each asset would actually go if something happened today.

Step three

Close the gaps

Forms we can update directly, and a short, specific list to take to your estate attorney.

When did you last review your beneficiary forms?

Most people can't answer that. It's usually the fastest thing we fix together.
