How We Help Secure Your Legacy
Summit coordinates every aspect of your legacy and estate plan, working alongside you and your legal team to ensure your wishes are honored.
Beneficiary Planning & Reviews: Regularly check and update beneficiaries on all accounts—retirement plans, IRAs, life insurance—to ensure your intentions are always current.
Estate Tax Planning: Analyze your estate for Connecticut and federal tax exposure. Recommend strategies like gifting, trusts, and insurance to minimize what your heirs owe.
Trust & Will Coordination: Collaborate with your estate attorney (or refer one) to set up and update trusts or wills—aligning legal documents with your overall financial plan.
Charitable Giving Strategies: Advise on tax-advantaged ways to leave gifts to charities or set up plans for grandchildren (donor-advised funds, IRA charitable rollovers, 529s, and more).
