In brief
High-net-worth New York families should coordinate estate plans with federal estate tax exemptions, New York estate tax rules, trust structures, beneficiary designations on accounts, and liquidity for estate tax payments - integrated with investment and charitable strategies.
Beyond documents
A will and trust are starting points, not finish lines. Beneficiary forms on retirement accounts and life insurance must match trust provisions. Investment accounts should be titled correctly to avoid probate and unintended tax consequences.
Multi-generational coordination
Financial planning at Montreux includes succession, philanthropic strategy, and wealth transfer - developed with your legal counsel and updated as family and tax law evolve.
