How We Help

Estate & Wealth Planning has developed a unique multi-generational approach to your financial success because every season of life requires different planning, investment strategies, and protection. Our team begins with getting a thorough understanding of your specific goals, resources, and concerns.  As part of this analysis, we carefully evaluate the needs of your family, now and for future generations.

Estate & Wealth Planning takes a totally independent approach to creating the optimal financial plan for your needs. Whereas the vast majority of financial advisors are limited to a narrow group of plans and investments offered by the company they work for, Estate & Wealth Planning can offer you a much wider spectrum of financial strategies.

When you know how to plan your financial landscape, it’s easier to enjoy your retirement.

Risk Management

Prioritizing your investments can help put you on the path to a successful financial future.

Advice

When it comes to your financial future, you need someone in your corner.

ESTATE & WEALTH PLANNING FAQs

Below are just a few of the areas of uncertainty through which we guide our clients. Of course, the answers to all these questions vary based on each client’s unique situation. Little pieces of the puzzle need to fit together with their bigger plan. We seek to inform our clients about the pros and cons of their options.

How do I save for college and retirement?

We help you determine if the amount you are saving for short-terms needs (like college) is jeopardizing your long-term needs (like retirement).  This also depends on your own personal preferences.
