Estate Planning

Comprehensive estate and legacy planning enables you to direct your time, talent and financial resources toward making a lasting impression on the lives of loved ones and the organizations you support. Creating a meaningful legacy begins with thoughtful planning and requires the resources and expertise of professional advisors adept in the intricacies of estate, philanthropic and tax planning.

Whether you use a trust* or another method for accomplishing your long-term legacy and estate planning goals, we can assist you in navigating and simplifying today’s complex estate planning landscape.

We can help you identify your goals and will work closely with your tax and legal advisors to help ensure your financial strategy reflects your estate planning needs. Or, if you prefer, we can provide a referral to our own team of outside professional advisors.

We can work with your own trustee or, if you are looking for an independent trustee, we would be happy to discuss the benefits of working with The Private Trust Company.
