LGBT Planning

I understand that you have specific needs & concerns about your financial goals. I recognize that every client's situation is unique and for our gay and lesbian clients the road to financial security may require some extra steps. Financial planning is particularly important for gay & lesbian individuals and their families because laws concerning these topics may result in unwanted outcomes when proper planning is not in place.

Business Succession Planning

A lifetime of work goes into the development of a successful business, often making it your most valuable asset. An estate plan should be in place to protect that asset and ensure its viability and value long into the future. Robert can offer innovative strategies for the continuation of the business that address the needs of each family member.
