It is common for people to avoid issues relating to their own death, but it is a vital component in developing a fully viable wealth management plan. WPG can help you overcome any hesitation about estate planning and help you develop and implement your estate plan.

Without proper estate planning, a portion of your assets could be unnecessarily lost to taxation, estate administration, and probate fees, eroding your estate and decreasing the value to your beneficiaries.

Because of the complexities of estates, it is important to establish a proper estate planning team, including a lawyer, accountant, and financial planner to help in the development of an appropriate and effective estate plan.

Common estate planning goals include:

  • Smoothing the transfer of large assets at death (ex: Cottage or Business)
  • Leaving money to charity (bequest)
  • Decreasing taxes payable at death
  • Setting up trust fund accounts
  • Ensuring survivors are financially secure

As part of your estate team WPG can help guide you through the estate planning process and provide you with the necessary financial estate planning products and services.
