Estate Planning
Estate planning can be a confusing and time-consuming endeavor. Our estate planning services can simplify the process and give you confidence that your plan meets your goals and aligns with your wishes.
Helping You Craft and Maintain Your Desired Plan
As you progress through various milestones and stages of your life, your estate planning needs will vary. However, your need for a plan is definite and constant. Our advisors can help you consider the appropriate plan and work with you and your attorney to create or update that plan.
Estate planning is more than executing a will. Our experts will look across your assets and needs to help you assess:
- Whether you need a will-based or trust-based plan
- Whether you have appropriate agents in place to assist with health or financial decisions
- Whether specialized trusts are needed for asset protection, estate tax avoidance, or for particular family dynamics or special needs
- Whether beneficiary designations or titling of assets align with your plan
- Whether family assets, such as the cottage or vacation property, are properly accounted for in your plan
We can evaluate your existing plan or assist with creating a new one. Our goal is simple – helping you be prepared and have confidence that your plan will work.
fi·du·ci·ar·y
A fiduciary is someone who manages property or money on behalf of someone else. When you become a fiduciary, the law requires you to manage the person’s assets for their benefit—and not your own. In a fiduciary relationship, the person who must prioritize their clients’ interests over their own is called the fiduciary.
