Frequently Asked Questions
Do you draft wills and trust documents?
As financial advisors, we focus on the financial strategy and coordination aspects of estate planning. We work closely with qualified estate attorneys who draft the legal documents while we handle the financial implementation and ongoing coordination.
How do virtual estate planning meetings work?
We use secure video conferencing to review your estate planning goals, current documents, and financial situation. Family members can easily join from different locations, making it convenient to include all relevant parties in the planning process.
What documents should I have for our estate planning review?
We’ll review your current will, trusts, beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and recent estate tax returns. We can securely receive these documents through our encrypted client portal.
How often should my estate plan be reviewed?
We recommend reviewing your estate plan annually or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or significant changes in wealth. Tax law changes may also trigger the need for plan updates.
