 Fred's Unique Promise


How You hire ME

I am building relationships, not documents. For that reason, I help you organize your financial life and legacy goals to help give you the full picture of what matters most.

What I Protect

The assets most often lost between generations are intangible. My personalized process ensures everything from your values to your voice are protected during your life and for generations to come.

How I Plan

Every estate plan is unique, driven by your personal relationships and risk factors. I work with you to map out the most likely scenarios for you, and a plan for each as life changes.

WHAT YOU SEE

You will know what you pay and what you are paying for at every step of our relationship. Offering a “no surprise” promise and ensuring transparency, you and I stay on the same side of the table, every step of the way.

How I Deliver

The majority of estate plans are left unfinished and unsigned. I help you mitigate the biggest risk in legacy planning – procrastination – by making it easy to make decisions and solidify legal documents as they are needed.

What You Can Trust

One-and-done estate plans are a recipe for failure. I build a lifetime relationship with you so that your financial and legal decision making evolves at the speed of life, elevating meaning and purpose in every season.
