Wealth Transfer
Efficiently transferring wealth to future generations is a crucial component of our approach. We help you navigate the complexities of estate planning to preserve your legacy.
Transfer Your Wealth the Right Way
Effectively transferring your wealth involves a range of strategies tailored to your unique needs. We review account titles, check beneficiaries on IRAs and life insurance policies, and evaluate life insurance in trusts to cover estate taxes or provide for your children. Our estate plan review identifies your preferences and explores tax-advantaged wealth transfer strategies. Additionally, our Legacy Partners Program offers support for clients and their adult children, helping to pass on your wealth smoothly and according to your wishes.
Next-Gen Wealth Planning
Planning for the next generation involves more than just passing on assets; it’s about preparing your heirs to manage and grow that wealth. Through our family meetings, we work with you and your future generations to plan the transfer of wealth and chart a course for their financial futures. This can involve setting up trusts and creating a financial education plan.
Gifting Strategies
Gifting strategies are an effective way to transfer wealth while potentially reducing tax liabilities. For instance, if you want to help your grandchildren with their education, you could make contributions to a 529 college savings plan. This not only supports their future but also allows you to make substantial gifts without incurring gift taxes. Additionally, we can guide you on annual exclusion gifts, where you can give up to a certain amount per recipient each year, maximizing your ability to pass on wealth without significant tax implications.
Tax Planning
Effective tax planning can significantly impact your wealth transfer strategy. For example, consider utilizing a Roth IRA conversion. By converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you pay taxes on the converted amount now, but your heirs can withdraw the funds tax-free in the future. These tax planning techniques help you minimize tax burdens and maximize the value of the wealth you pass on.
Advisor Coordination
As fiduciary financial advisors, we are bound by our duty of honesty and integrity to provide advice in your best interests. We coordinate matters to aid in the process of transferring wealth.
Inheritance Matters
Addressing inheritance matters helps distribute your assets according to your wishes. Establishing a clear and detailed estate plan can simplify the process for your family. Similarly, designating beneficiaries on accounts and life insurance policies helps streamline the inheritance process, making it easier for your loved ones to access funds quickly.
Family Values Discussions
Incorporating family values into your wealth transfer plan can strengthen your legacy. For instance, having open discussions with your children about your financial values and goals can foster a shared understanding and commitment. At Grunden Financial Advisory, Inc., our team of fiduciary financial advisors can facilitate these conversations to provide a solution that reflects your family’s core values.
