We will review existing documents with a critical eye to whether your stated planning objectives are being met. Depending on the comprehensiveness of the plan elements, we can also provide assistance with executing charitable transfers, trust compliance, fiduciary management; we’ll also offer external referrals as needed for Certified Appraisers, Investment Brokers, and Bank/Trust Wealth Managers from our professional network.
This “team approach” is essential to ensuring your needs are properly identified, addressed and most importantly, clearly understood by you and at your discretion, your heirs.
