Wealth Preservation: Collaborative Approach

Whether you have assets abroad, are a non-U.S. citizen residing in the United States, or have beneficiaries living overseas, our team is equipped to navigate the complexities of international estate planning. We can plan for foreign beneficiaries and work with attorneys in other countries to ensure that your American estate plan works seamlessly with estate plans in other jurisdictions, maintaining compliance and optimizing for global tax efficiency.

Vehicles: Trusts and Family Entities

In high net worth estate planning, our vehicles include a variety of trusts and family entities, each specifically tailored to meet the needs of high net worth individuals. These tools are instrumental in achieving your distinct goals, such as preserving wealth for future generations, minimizing taxes, and ensuring privacy in wealth transfer. Prominent among these are the Spousal Lifetime Access Trust (SLAT), offering married couples a flexible way to benefit from trust assets while potentially reducing estate taxes. The Family Limited Partnership (FLP) plays a crucial role in managing family-owned businesses or property, providing control and tax advantages. Inheritance Asset Protection Trusts are also pivotal, ensuring that your beneficiaries receive their inheritance in a protected and tax-efficient manner.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
When my husband died, I felt I needed to honor him for his children and friends. Working through the plans was healthy because I've been a planner professionally. My daughter is not a planner and I know she would not find those endless tasks therapeutic like I did. So I've created a very specific estate plan with Diedre Braverman's counsel, detailed guidance, and support. Now I feel relief knowing that my death will not derail my daughter's life. Barbara Joan Martin
★★★★★
I really appreciate your calming nature. You are incredibly helpful and kind. After speaking with me it was the first time in a long while where I was able to sleep through the night because of your reassurance. Trudy Moore
★★★★★
I trust Bennett and feel his depth of knowledge. The time and energy Bennett spent briefing the beneficiaries of our plan – helping them to know what to expect and what their duties and responsibilities would be – was invaluable. I trust Bennett and feel his depth of knowledge will allow him to serve a wide range of client needs. The ramifications of each decision were fully explained and his adaptation to our family’s needs was exceptional. Anonymous

Diedre took the time to go beyond our initial assumptions and explained how we can benefit from strategies no one had explained to us before. Kathy
★★★★★
Bennett Braverman is a thorough, knowledgeable expert in his field. He did an excellent job in walking us through the Living Trust process, coaching us through decisions, and making sure we completely understood the what we had to do and the associated benefits and risks. We will continue to recommend him to our friends and look forward to partnering with Bennett in the future. Lisa
