- Substantially reduce or eliminate taxes (income, excise, gift, estate, etc.)
- Passing on work ethic and a sense of responsibility to heirs
- Keeping family affairs private through Bloodline Preservation TrustSM planning
- Making sure heirs are prepared to handle an inheritance, and if they are not, taking steps to protect them until they are ready while protecting them from their future decisions
- Managing the value of business interests, and shielding personal assets from business liabilities
