Estate Planning

You have worked hard to earn, grow, and preserve your wealth, but do you have a legally binding plan in place that outlines your wishes upon disability or death? Wealth distribution succeeding death is not a topic that most people want to think about, but it is important to make your arrangements when you are mentally and emotionally able to do so. While initial conversations and considerations can be tough, estate planning provides you with peace of mind that your family is taken care of and that all your assets will be allocated in alignment with your wishes.

It is never too early to put plans in place to prepare your will, select your power of attorney, draft bequest memorandums, start family discussions, seek tax-efficient wealth transfer solutions, and think about your legacy. At The St-Georges Group, our strategic wealth advisors can help you plan well in advance so you can rest assured that all your affairs are in order.

The Value of Planning Ahead

Planning ahead helps reduce the burden on your grieving family and ensures there is complete clarity about how your estate will be allocated. Will planning, power of attorney selection, estate preservation, and family values letters are some of the ways you can establish proactive plans at any stage of life.

Our team of professionals understands that each individual and family has unique circumstances. We listen to your hopes and concerns and present a plan that is tailored to you and your family’s needs based on an integrated wealth planning approach.

Involving Family in the Discussion

Speaking to your family about your wishes is an important part of the estate planning process. Sharing your end-of-life plan can offer peace of mind to your beneficiaries and create the opportunity for important family discussions. These discussions may be particularly important if you have a blended family or if some of your decisions may cause conflict within the family unit.

The opportunity to explain your rationale for your decisions or hear from your family about what is important to them can be a valuable part of the estate planning process. We can help you facilitate family discussions, to ensure that you have a neutral party (who is familiar with your affairs) present.

Leaving
a Legacy

Most people wish to be remembered in a positive way by their various communities, so it is common to include charitable giving in your estate plan. Donations can be in the form of funds, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, land, buildings, and so much more. You may also wish to establish a private foundation, or a donor advised fund to leave a lasting family legacy. At The St-Georges Group, we ensure that you are aware of all the options that are available to you.
