Our Wealth Management Process
Our wealth management services are designed to help our clients take full control of their financial journey. At the heart of our approach is understanding each customer’s unique financial circumstances and goals, then providing tailored advice to achieve those objectives. Let’s go over the basics of our service.
What is Wealth Management?
Wealth management is a comprehensive approach to helping individuals, families, and businesses manage their finances. Wealthy individuals with diverse needs usually find this service helpful.
How Does Wealth Management Work?
Wealth management advice is comprehensive and involves more than just investments. It can cover all aspects of a person’s financial life. People with high net worth may benefit from an integrated approach instead of taking bits of advice and using various products from multiple professionals.
In this method, a financial manager coordinates the necessary services to manage their client’s assets and creates a strategic plan for any current and future needs—such as will and trust services or business succession plans.

- Investigate whether additional services are needed
Estate Planning: We Prepare Your Assets for the Future
At Nesso Wealth, we understand that creating a family legacy is important. Our experienced team of estate planning experts has the trust-based knowledge to help you plan your future and secure your legacy for generations to come. Here’s what you need to know before hiring us:
What Is Estate Planning?
Estate planning is a coordinated effort to ensure that your assets are organized and secure in the event of your passing. It includes preparing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and more to help minimize tax liability, avoid unnecessary probate proceedings, and protect your legacy for future generations.
How Does Estate Planning Work?
Estate planning denotes figuring out what will happen to an individual’s assets after they pass away. It also encompasses making decisions about how someone’s property and money will be managed if they cannot make those choices themselves.
Individuals’ estates may include houses, cars, stocks, artwork, life insurance policies, pensions, and debt. People plan their estates for different reasons, such as preserving family wealth or providing for spouses and children. Some want to fund grandchildren’s education, while others wish to leave a legacy behind through charitable donations.
Major Estate Planning Tasks
When creating an estate plan, we first focus on writing a will. Other major estate planning tasks include:
- Limit estate taxes by creating trust accounts in the names of beneficiaries
- If you have young children or other dependents, it’s important to establish a legal guardian in case something happens to you
- Choosing someone to handle your estate after you die
- To update or create beneficiaries on plans like life insurance, IRAs, and 401(k)s
- Arranging a funeral
- Reduce the size of your taxable estate by establishing annual gifting to qualified charities and non-profits
- A durable power of attorney allows you to appoint someone to direct your assets and investments.
Crucial Steps To Take
We focus on two main steps for completing your estate planning:
Writing a Will:
This is the most important step in estate planning, as it dictates what will happen to your assets after you die. Here, we identify your property and possessions and ensure they’re distributed according to your wishes.
Updating Beneficiaries:
Adjusting beneficiaries on insurance policies, retirement funds, and other financial accounts ensure that these assets will be passed on to the people you designate. This is a crucial step in estate planning that ensures your wishes are fulfilled after death.
Appointing the Right Executor:
Selecting the right executor helps minimize confusion and conflict after your death. We work closely with you to identify a trustworthy individual who can manage your estate following your wishes, protect the legacy you leave behind, and continue building upon it for future generations.
Planning For Estate Taxes
Before assets are distributed to loved ones, federal and state taxes significantly lower an estate’s value. This means that after a death in the family, there can be substantial amounts of money owed in taxes – leading families to strategize ways to reduce, eliminate, or at least postpone these tax payments.
During the estate-planning process, we take the following steps for our customers to reduce the impact of these taxes.
- Set up an AB Trust that divides into two after the death of the first spouse
- Transfer assets to an entity before death for current or future funding
- Give to charitable organizations while alive
- Locking in the current value, and thus tax liability, of their property while attributing the value of future growth of that capital property to another person
Legacy Planning: Creating A Plan For Your Estate
You can rely on our team to provide the highest professional standards and personalized advice if you’re looking for a comprehensive legacy planning service. Our knowledgeable advisors guide our clients through the entire estate planning process – from creating trusts to protecting assets – mapping out each step along the way.
What is Legacy Planning?
Legacy planning, or estate planning, is making sure your assets are distributed according to your wishes following death. This includes setting up trusts, transferring property to loved ones, and working with an executor to ensure everything is managed according to your wishes.
Why Invest in Legacy Planning?
When a person passes away, their money and belongings are given to family or others named in the will. Without a plan for your estate, its management might go against your wishes once you pass away. Legacy planning is vital for small businesses or other properties requiring upkeep.
Are Estate & Legacy Planning any Different?
While estate planning and legacy planning are closely related, the primary difference is that estate planning focuses on managing assets during your lifetime, while legacy planning focuses on distributing these assets after you die. Both processes involve working with an advisor to create a comprehensive plan based on your goals, values, and needs.
