Stewardship, legacy, and education across generations.

The Importance of Family Meetings

Strategic planning should cover every aspect of your estate. Preparing for the transfer of your assets is a vital piece of that puzzle. It’s completely normal to feel uneasy about disclosing personal financial details to your executor, trustee, or key heirs. However, we recognize how essential it is to provide clarity and direction to those you leave behind.

At Stephen J. Dybwad, we have led many family financial discussions throughout the years. As your financial guide, we take it upon ourselves to ensure your heirs grasp the legacy you intend to create. With a solid financial plan established, we can advocate for your wishes long after you’re gone. This is what we mean by truly comprehensive financial planning.

Multigenerational Financial Planning

The primary goal of multigenerational financial planning is to guarantee that your wealth is transferred smoothly to the beneficiaries you choose. Our comprehensive financial plan, along with our ongoing support, lays the foundation for your legacy to thrive in the next generation. We aim to not only preserve your wealth but also empower your loved ones to become responsible guardians of your hard-earned resources.

Our careful approach ensures that we regularly assess and update your beneficiary designations according to your wishes. As your personal CFO, we are committed to bridging the gap between generations through thoughtful legacy planning.
