Who We Are

Where Integrated Wealth Planning Meets Family Legacy

Legacy & Succession is a wealth advisory firm existing to help families and business owners turn your vision into reality. Our multi-generational financial planning sits at the intersection of financial strategy, leadership responsibility, and long-term continuity. Rather than pushing products or predefined solutions, we serve as your personal guide, helping to bring structure to complex conversations, coordinating your team of professional advisors, and ensuring decisions reflect both present realities and future intent. The result is not a plan on paper, but a clear direction that holds its course over time.

Business Owner Lifecycle

See where we can meet you on your journey.

Grow

This phase is defined by expansion. Owners are building, acquiring, and reinvesting, often with leverage, outside capital, or strategic debt, while laying the groundwork for future leadership and long-term structure.

Extract

As growth slows or priorities shift, owners begin pulling value out of the business. This may involve distributing cash flow over time or preparing for a planned transition through a sale, internal transfer, or liquidity event.

Preserve

This final part of the business owner lifecycle is about stewarding wealth once growth and liquidity are behind you. This stage prioritizes tax awareness, long-term oversight, and structures that support family alignment over time.
