Estate & Legacy Planning
After dedicating much of your adult life to accumulating wealth, it's crucial to solidify your legacy. Numerous investors lack essential estate documents, which can leave your loved ones in a difficult situation and potentially reduce their inheritance with unnecessary costs.
Modern approach to Estate Planning
Develop a personalized estate plan to address the fundamentals of guardianship and basic asset distribution, or opt for a trust-based plan to bypass probate. The online software guides you through the process step-by-step from the comfort of your home allowing most clients to complete the plan in approximately 30 minutes, with the option to pay will & trust for an attorney review.
The Process
I work with investors using an interactive data-driven online process to understand their current financial situation and progress. From this analysis we can identify areas to focus on and investment options to drive your plan's performance. We then track your net worth and plan's progress through an interactive planning portal. See the portal in action below.
Pricing
As a fee-only advisor, I prioritize simplicity, transparency, and alignment with your investment goals. Using an independent platform through LPL, I choose investments based solely on their effectiveness in meeting your objectives, without proprietary products.

I serve investors at different financial stages with tailored pricing and customized plans to meet your unique needs and adapt as your situation changes.​
