Affiance Financial will work with you to facilitate estate and legacy planning, communicate objectives, narrow down intentions, and prepare for documentation with a legal professional.
Estate Planning
The foundation of every successful estate plan is determining the future of your property after you pass away. This can be difficult, as talking through a plan after death for finances is sensitive and emotional. We're here to help you navigate the uncertainties of the future through reliable estate planning.
Our estate planning professionals will help you determine who will benefit from your assets. We will also walk you through who will help you take care of yourself and your assets if you are not able to.
We can help you define clear and comprehensible estate plans that will help put all of your loved ones on the same page by eliminating uncertainties, untangling discrepancies, and aligning your estate plan with your goals.
Legacy Planning
Our legacy planning services are a more comprehensive and holistic approach to estate planning. While both of these plans deal with your assets after you pass away, legacy planning is about the mark you leave behind and how you will be remembered. This may include establishing a charitable foundation to preserve your philanthropic efforts. Additionally, legacy planning may include crafting a trust to pay for your children's or grandchildren's education.
Our legacy planning professionals will work closely with you to help you work towards accomplishing your goals, create specialized plans for your assets, and leave a positive and long-lasting mark on your community.
What to Expect
Once you are confident about meeting your lifetime financial goals, it's time to start thinking about your legacy. We can help you define your estate and legacy desires and create a plan to carry them out.
This includes:
- Maintaining an inventory of your beneficiaries
- Creating tax-efficient strategies to minimize estate shrinkage
- Facilitating family meetings to communicate your plan
- Coordinate with an attorney to complete the obligatory legal work
- Assisting with the administration of your estate upon your death
In short, Affiance Financial can help you leave a legacy for your family and community that is truly lasting, meaningful, and in your best interests.
