Estate Planning Process
1. Fact-Finding Session
You’ll meet with a financial planner to discuss your goals and create the framework for your financial plan, with no added cost or obligation. We’ll review pertinent information about your income and taxes, retirement accounts, personal property and real estate holdings and liabilities. An estate planning attorney – your own or an independent attorney referred by Bluestone Wealth & Trust – will then review your information.*
2. Legal Analysis & Review*
After a thorough review, your attorney* prepares an action plan to protect your assets and maximize your resources, including updating your current documents to reflect your objectives and current tax laws. Your action plan could cover anything from wills, durable power of attorney and health care proxy to guardians for minor children, trusts, long-term care and succession planning. Each service comes with a flat-fee charge. A member of the Bluestone Wealth and Trust team will help with any financial investments in your plan.
3. Follow-Up*
You can now decide to take your personalized action plan to an attorney* or other form of follow-up.*
4. Survivorship Benefits
As an active participant in your planning process, we can be a valuable resource to family members in the event of your death, helping with the many details involved in the transition of your estate.
