• Can you state your personal VALUES ?
• Have you stated your personal and family FINANCIAL PHILOSOPHY ?
• Are your deepest personal VALUES FULLY EXPRESSED by your financial plans?
• Will your life accomplishments be affirmed in your LEGACIES ?
• How do you wish to express WHAT YOU STAND FOR ?

In the broadest sense, there are three things we can do with our money:

• Spend it on ourselves/family
• Pay taxes
• Support worthy endeavors

As much as we might like to pick only the first, successful people must pick at least two of the three. Taxes can be an easy choice, since all we have to do to volunteer to pay estate taxes is nothing or very little .

Adequate Planning is essential to claiming our rights and exercising our freedom!
 

The objective is optimizing your control of your financial future while expressing your values to your family and community.
 

• Your advisors - financial, legal, and tax professionals
• Family members
• Trusted friends

Together we move beyond the common scenario when one set of financial goals is assumed for everyone. 

Then you discover how charitable gift mechanisms can accomplish multiple financial goals for you, much more than gifts to charity.
 

What better way is there to make a lasting statement of the values you want most to pass on than a plan that communicates what you hold dear in your heart?
