Preparing for estate and legacy planning

How do financial and legal planning work together?

Financial planning considers how assets and family goals fit together. Legal documents and legal advice should come from your attorney. Discuss how an intended legacy relates to retirement needs, investment accounts and any business interests, then ask the appropriate professionals to review the specific financial, tax and legal questions. Integra Wealth Management and LPL Financial do not offer tax or legal advice.

What can a family discuss before a planning meeting?

Consider the people and causes you want to support, the goals you want to preserve and questions about responsibilities across generations. You can start with a goals discussion rather than sending private documents immediately. Our multi-generational family example illustrates how several family priorities can arise together.

How does legacy planning relate to retirement?

Assets intended for a future legacy may also support your current or future spending. A broader plan considers these needs together. Explore retirement planning and comprehensive financial planning, then confirm the services and fees relevant to your circumstances with the team.
