Estate Planning

Protect What Matters. Preserve What You've Built.

Your estate plan is the ultimate expression of your values — determining how your wealth, your wishes, and your legacy carry forward. We ensure that plan is as thoughtful and comprehensive as the life it represents.

Our Philosophy

Estate Planning Is About People, Not Just Paper

Too many estate plans are drafted once and forgotten — a stack of documents that may no longer reflect your current wishes, your family's needs, or today's tax landscape. At Prime Sentry, we take a fundamentally different approach.

We view estate planning not as a one-time legal exercise, but as an ongoing, evolving component of your complete financial strategy. Your estate plan should integrate seamlessly with your investment management, your tax strategy, your retirement plan, and your philanthropic goals — because all of these elements are interconnected.

Our estate planning specialists work alongside your attorney, CPA, and insurance advisors as the coordinating hub — ensuring every piece of your legacy plan works in harmony. We bridge the gap between legal documents and financial reality, so your intentions are not only documented but actually achievable.

What We Do

Comprehensive Estate & Legacy Services

From trust design and tax mitigation to charitable giving and family governance, our estate planning services address every dimension of wealth transfer and legacy preservation.

Trust Design & Administration

We work with your legal counsel to design and implement trust structures — revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, generation-skipping trusts, and special needs trusts — that align with your wealth transfer objectives while maximizing tax efficiency.

Estate & Gift Tax Strategy

Federal and state estate tax laws are complex and ever-changing. We develop proactive strategies to minimize estate and gift tax exposure — leveraging annual exclusions, lifetime exemptions, and advanced planning techniques to preserve more of your legacy.

Family Governance & Wealth Education

Transferring wealth is about more than documents. We help families establish governance frameworks, family meetings, and next-generation education programs that prepare heirs to receive and steward wealth responsibly.

Charitable & Philanthropic Planning

From donor-advised funds and charitable remainder trusts to private foundations, we design giving strategies that maximize your impact while providing meaningful tax advantages during your lifetime and beyond.

Life Insurance & Liquidity Planning

Illiquid estates can create significant challenges for heirs. We analyze your estate's liquidity needs and design insurance strategies — including irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs) — to ensure your family has the resources to settle your estate without forced asset sales.

Business Succession & Estate Integration

For business owners, the estate plan and succession plan must work in concert. We coordinate with your business advisors to ensure seamless ownership transfer, buy-sell agreement funding, and valuation strategies that protect both your business legacy and your family.

How We Work

Building Your Legacy Plan

A disciplined, collaborative process that ensures your estate plan is comprehensive, current, and fully integrated with your financial strategy.

Estate Assessment & Discovery

We conduct a thorough review of your existing estate documents, beneficiary designations, asset titling, insurance policies, and family dynamics to identify gaps and opportunities.

02

Strategy Design & Coordination

Working closely with your estate attorney and tax advisor, we design a comprehensive estate strategy that integrates with your broader financial plan and reflects your values.

03

We coordinate the implementation — ensuring trusts are properly funded, beneficiary designations are aligned, and all moving pieces work together as designed.

04

Ongoing Review & Adaptation

Estate plans must evolve with your life and with changing tax laws. We review your plan annually and proactively recommend adjustments to stay ahead of legislative changes.
