Estate Conservation

Be remembered the way you intend.

You’ve worked hard to build security for your family. Conserving your estate makes sure it reaches the people you choose, the way you choose, with as little as possible lost to taxes and settlement costs.

If you don’t decide, the state will.

Without a plan, state and federal law decide how your assets are distributed, and if you have minor children, a court appoints their guardian with no say from you.

Planning now lets you decide how your affairs are handled if you die or become disabled, and it lets you build in strategies to reduce the impact of estate taxes, income taxes, and other settlement costs.

More than you think.

Your estate includes all of these:

  • Real estate
  • The value of your personal property
  • Individual or group life insurance benefits
  • Investment accounts: savings, cash, stocks, bonds, and annuities
  • The value of your ownership interest in a business
  • Retirement savings accounts
  • Mortgages or other debts owed to you

The tools.

We help you build the plan and handle the financial side, and your attorney prepares the legal documents.

  • A will
  • A living will and health care proxy
  • Power of attorney
  • Trusts
The Terrio Group does not provide legal advice. Legal documents are prepared by an attorney.

Waiting is a decision too.

Leave your income, taxes, and estate alone long enough and the defaults decide for you. Start with one conversation instead. It’s complimentary, and there’s no homework.
