Estate Planning and Trusts

Your legacy, thoughtfully planned and preserved

There is a tendency to think legacy planning can wait until later in life. But if you have a vision for the future – and how you want it to unfold – the surest way to protect that vision is through comprehensive planning.

A carefully crafted plan can account for your family, your beneficiaries, your business, your favorite charities, your wealth and, most importantly, your wishes. Effective legacy planning combines choosing the right vehicles – wills, trusts, insurance and more – with the prudent selection, balance and placement of investments.

Drawing from Raymond James’ extensive array of trust and financial planning expertise, your advisor can help ensure your wishes are implemented.

Trust Services

We all know how important it is to have a will. A trust offers even greater control and privacy. With a designated third party acting on your behalf, a trust helps you to avoid probate, while allowing you to be even more specific about how and when assets transfer to your heirs. A trust can save time, court fees and potentially reduce estate taxes.
