Jeff focuses his practice largely upon the area of estate planning with an emphasis on wealth transfer and tax-management strategies. He sees his primary responsibility to his financially successful clients as helping them keep together what it has likely taken them a lifetime to put together. In this, his approach is to help his clients reach their financial goals by integrating all relevant aspects of the financial-planning process for them—i.e., investments, estate planning, tax planning, and life insurance must become parts of a single integrated whole that will address those goals. He works closely with his clients’ attorneys and accountants and other financial professionals, to create the strategies that will best serve their shared clients’ interests. He believes strongly that each client’s situation is unique and so deserves the personalized approach designed to address its specific requirements.
He strives to design sophisticated life-insurance portfolios that enable his clients and their advisors to optimize economic results, minimize risks, and/or to enhance their flexibility in intergenerational wealth-management planning.
