Estate planning

For many people, estate taxes will be the largest single tax they ever face. Good estate planning will preserve your assets, transfer wealth as you desire and minimize income and estate taxes. Private Client Group can work with your advisors to help create a strategic estate plan that addresses your particular circumstances.1

Living trust

A living trust provides uninterrupted management of your assets if you become ill, incapacitated or die. You can have your assets managed by professionals within the guidelines of an individualized investment plan you create. Your assets are managed according to your direction during your lifetime and, in the event of your death, your estate is managed and distributed according to your objectives.

Unlike a will, a living trust is not subject to the expense or time delays of probate if all of your assets are held in the trust. A living trust is also confidential and is not a matter of public record.

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust

A trust vehicle that may allow you to create non-taxable liquidity to meet estate needs. By taking advantage of annual gift tax exclusion amounts, you may gift assets to the trust, which are used to purchase insurance on your life. Upon your death, the policy proceeds are paid to the trust and are not subject to estate taxes.

Charitable remainder trust

A trust vehicle that may provide an effective, tax-advantaged means of accomplishing your philanthropic objectives. You make a gift to the trust, claim a charitable deduction on your income taxes, and receive income payments for life or for a term of years for you or another person you name, based on the value of the trust assets. When the obligations to the income beneficiaries have been fulfilled, the remaining trust assets pass to the charities you designate.

Investment Agency account

Two options are available for your investment management needs:

  • An advisory relationship allows you to stay involved in the management of your assets. A portfolio manager provides recommendations and options, but you make the decisions along the way.
  • A managed relationship allows you to provide guidelines as to how you would like your assets managed. A portfolio manager oversees the assets in accordance with those guidelines and meets with you periodically.
