Our Process

Our wealth management approach focuses on you, your family, and your career - where you are today and where you want to go. Working together, we develop the strategies to help you get there, navigating life's challenges and helping you make more informed decisions about your wealth.

    Introductory Call

    We begin with an informal conversation to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can add value. If we all agree to move forward, we'll schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.

    Discovery Meeting

    We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you've prepared and define your priorities.

    Analysis and Plan Development

    Here, we utilize proprietary financial planning to develop a personalized and detailed plan with recommendations to help you grow, preserve, and transfer wealth.

    Implementation

    In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we open new accounts for you at Morgan Stanley and initiate our investment recommendations. We also begin to implement other strategies we've discussed. These often encompass tax minimization strategies, as well as risk management techniques.

    Monitoring & Performance Tracking

    We will be closely monitoring your assets and analyzing the performance tracking data to ensure your plan is staying on track and your financial needs are being met.

Comprehensive Financial Planning

Regardless of what stage your life is in - moving ahead in your career, enjoying retirement, or somewhere in between - as your Financial Advisors, we can help you achieve your financial goals.

Using a suite of tools that includes goal-specific analysis, we can work with you to create a realistic, holistic strategy that integrates the various aspects of your financial life, including your investments and cash management needs.

WHY A TRUST MAY BE RIGHT FOR YOU:

A trust fund is set up in order to control and manage assets of senior clients. These legal and financial agreements involve three key parties: the Grantor (the client), the trustee, and one or more beneficiaries.

Find the Trust that is Best Suited to You:
  • TRUST TRANSFERS: While certain elements of a trust may be set in stone, the person or institution named to act as trustee often is not. A trustee holds fiduciary responsibility to manage and administer trust under the terms of the trust document in a manner most advantageous to the beneficiaries of the trust.
  • LIVING TRUST: A living trust is created during the lifetime of the grantor.
  • TESTAMENTARY TRUST: A trust created under a will.
  • REVOCABLE TRUST: With a revocable trust, as long as the grantor is alive, the grantor can amend and revoke the trust. With a revocable trust all income is generally paid to the grantor as long as the grantor is alive. A revocable trust is used as a will substitute. A revocable trust allows the avoidance of probate for all assets contributed to the revocable trust.
  • IRREVOCABLE TRUST: An irrevocable trust is a trust that cannot be easily amended or revoked. Assets contributed to an irrevocable trust are completed gifts and no longer belong to the grantor. This means that all assets contributed to an irrevocable trust are removed from the grantor’s estate and are not subject to probate.
  • SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST: A Special Needs Trust (SNT) is an irrevocable trust created to ensure that a beneficiary who has a disability can enjoy the use of property held in trust for his or her benefit.
