A legacy shaped
by the people
who matter.
Your legacy carries more than financial value. It reflects the people, priorities, and causes you care about. We help you connect those wishes with your financial plan and coordinate the conversation with your legal and tax professionals.

What would you
like your legacy
to make possible?
Perhaps you want to support a surviving spouse, help the next generation, or continue giving to a cause that has shaped your life. Your priorities provide the starting point.
We discuss how your accounts, insurance, income needs, and beneficiary choices fit those goals. Your attorney and tax professional help address the legal documents and tax decisions that apply to your situation.
Bring your legacy

Coordinate financial planning discussions with your attorney’s review of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other relevant documents.

Family legacy planning, explained.
How is legacy planning connected to retirement planning?
Your retirement resources may need to support your own life, a surviving spouse or dependent, and the legacy you hope to leave. Discussing those priorities together helps keep the financial conversation connected to your intentions.
Do I need a trust to start this conversation?
You can start by sharing your goals and reviewing your financial picture. Whether a trust or another legal arrangement is appropriate is a question for your attorney, based on your circumstances and applicable law.
Does RWM prepare wills or other legal documents?
This service focuses on financial planning and coordination. Your attorney should advise on legal structures and prepare legal documents. Your tax professional should advise on tax decisions specific to your circumstances.
When should we revisit the plan?
Discuss a review when your family, intended beneficiaries, financial situation, or goals change. Your planning professionals can also help identify whether changes in rules or existing documents call for further attention.
