SPECIALIZED WEALTH STRATEGIES

Caring for the needs of modern families

 

Modern families make up two-thirds of all families in the U.S. today.1 These families include:

  • Divorced and remarried couples, often with blended families
  • LGBTQ+ families
  • Multigenerational families sharing a home
  • Single parents with children
     

Our Private Wealth Management team tailors our strategic financial planning to meet the unique needs of each family situation.

Modern families

Blended families

Blended families represent the widest range and largest number of U.S. family households. In remarriages, 65% include children from previous relationships.2

Managing competing financial priorities between children and stepchildren, and current and previous spouses, can be a challenge. We can assist you in planning for your entire family’s future.

LGBTQ+ families

There are important nuances to financial planning for LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Ongoing discrimination in credit, housing and employment heightens the importance of a solid financial plan to protect you and your loved ones.

We’ll work with you as you identify your priorities, which may include adoption or surrogacy, domestic partnership or marriage, a career change or retirement, to help you move toward your goals.

Multigenerational families

“Sandwich generation” describes families who balance the responsibilities of caring for their parents and children. Or, perhaps you’re a grandparent who has assumed responsibility for your grandchildren.

We can provide expertise to help you preserve your wealth while providing for all of those you love.

Single adult households

Approximately 27% of households are maintained by a single adult.3 If you’re part of this growing group, you know the importance of being financially self-reliant and planning ahead. You don’t have to go it alone. Together we can create a financial strategy to support your independent lifestyle.

Starting a family later in life

A growing segment of modern families includes those with at least one parent who’s 35 or older when their first child is born.

You’re more financially secure and looking for ways to protect your growing family. We can help you create a wealth plan that includes insurance and legacy considerations, so you’re prepared for what life brings.
