Helping Clients Plan From the Heart:
Beyond Money in Estate Planning
 
Many clients and advisors think of estate planning as a logistical process designed to reduce taxes, avoid court, and protect assets. Of course, proper planning does enhance the security of their families and assets, but estate planning is actually much more.

Although we write frequently to you about the tax, asset protection, and court-avoiding benefits of estate planning, the process can also be an expression of love, hopes, dreams, and goals for your clients' loved ones. There are a number of ways your clients can pass on their legacy to their heirs through archival projects, incentivized trusts, charitable contributions, and more. By highlighting and helping deliver on the human side of estate planning, you can strengthen client relationships and increase retention, build a stable base of long-term retention of assets under management, and become known in your community as an advisor that cares about more than just the numbers.


We were delighted to sponsor NAIFA Virginia's conference earlier this month! It was great to see many familiar faces and meet so many new folks. Attorney Jeremy Pryor spoke on the importance of Estate Planning and Elder Law.
We offer free  educational seminars on the importance of
estate planning throughout the month. We'd love to see you or your clients there! Click here to see all the dates & times near you.
