to Live Confidently Today

Estate Planning is a critical component of wealth management. It’s also an area that can be intimidating to think about and overwhelming to address. Who will inherit your property when you are gone? How do you transfer assets in the most efficient way possible? Who will make financial and medical decisions for you if you’re unable to do so for yourself? These are some of the questions you’ll address through the estate planning process.

Where Estate Plans and Financial Planning Meet

But family estate planning should go beyond determining who gets what and how to avoid taxes. It should reflect the dreams you have for your family and how to achieve them after you’re gone. It should reflect how you lived – and how you want to be remembered.

That’s why our financial advisors go the extra mile to engage with you to help your Estate Plan accurately reflect your unique goals. As time goes by, we’ll monitor your Estate Plan and work with you and your estate planning attorneys to make any needed updates along the way.

Trust-Based Estate Planning

A trust-based estate plan allows you to designate how your assets will be managed and distributed while avoiding probate, ensuring privacy, and control over your legacy.

Will-Based Estate Planning

A will-based estate plan specifies how your assets will be distributed upon your passing and can include guardianship directives for minor children.

Healthcare Power of Attorney

A Healthcare Power of Attorney authorizes someone you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so, ensuring your healthcare wishes are followed.

General Durable Power of Attorney

A Durable Power of Attorney appoints a representative to manage your financial and legal affairs if you’re incapacitated, providing continuity in your financial life.

Living Will

Living Wills outline your preferences for end-of-life care, detailing medical treatments you wish to receive or decline if you’re unable to communicate your wishes.

Fee Reimbursement

Get Started

We offer to cover the cost of your estate planning legal documentation. Depending on your total assets under management, the fee reimbursement will be between $750-$5,000.

Once all or a portion of the upfront estate planning credit is used, an accumulating credit begins to accrue to help cover the cost of future estate plan updates.

We couldn’t be happier with everything that Wealthquest does and how they do it! They truly set the bar and exceed our expectations for how a financial services company should work to support their clients. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, timely, pleasurable to work with, and truly have our interests in mind in everything they do. They’ve taken the time to get to know us and our goals/plans to develop our portfolio to align with our needs. We know we’ll meet our goals based on their efforts and results. We also love their holistic approach to not only manage our investments, but also our taxes andestate planning. Wealthquest is a wonderful company filled with expert people who care! We’vewholeheartedly recommended them to family and friends and will continue to do so.

I was first introduced to WQ many years ago because my parents were clients. The team did a tremendous job helping my folks prepare for their retirement. When it came time for me to start doing proactive financial planning, it was an easy decision to ask for WQ's help. Steve King and others are always readily available to answer questions, give advice, facilitate transactions, all things financial planning. My husband and I feel very secure as WQ clients. We are looking forward to a very long relationship with the WQ team and grateful for their expertise and support.

We recently transitioned to Wealthquest and the experience exceeded all expectations. What attracted us, as new retirees, was their one stop approach to retirees. Investments, tax, wills and trusts. We were looking for an organization that gave us peace of mind in an uncertain time of transitioning to retirement. David Kern and team does a great job.
