Estate planning covers more than just the distribution of your estate to your heirs – it is a process designed to identify the best way to accumulate, preserve, and pass your wealth.  An important part of any wealth management strategy is to effectively and efficiently transfer and preserve assets while minimizing tax liability and court costs.  We don’t provide legal or tax advice, but with your permission, we will work closely with your legal and tax professionals to coordinate estate planning services to help address your unique estate planning goals.
