10 moments for high-net-worth families.

Name the moment, not the job title. Each one has a hook line to open a post or video with, its ringtone (the letter, bill or date people react to before they think) and what's at stake.

  1. Crossing the estate tax line

    “Your estate may now be large enough for federal estate tax. Plan now, while there are more options.”
    Ringtone
    A net worth statement
    What's at stake
    Estate tax planning tools work best years ahead.
  2. A liquidity event

    “A sale, an IPO or a distribution just turned paper wealth into cash. The next 90 days matter most.”
    Ringtone
    The wire confirmation
    What's at stake
    Taxes, reinvestment and giving decisions follow a large liquidity event.
  3. Too many advisors

    “Three advisors, two CPAs and an attorney who never talk to each other? Someone needs to quarterback.”
    Ringtone
    Conflicting advice in the same month
    What's at stake
    Coordination prevents gaps and duplicate fees.
  4. Concentrated stock

    “Most of your wealth is in one stock. There are ways out that don't cost half in taxes.”
    Ringtone
    The brokerage statement
    What's at stake
    Exchange funds, collars, gifting and staged sales manage concentration.
  5. Teaching kids about wealth

    “Your kids will inherit more than money. Start the conversation before they inherit.”
    Ringtone
    A child's first job
    What's at stake
    Family governance and preparing heirs.
  6. Starting a family foundation

    “Giving $100K a year? A donor-advised fund or a foundation can make it go further.”
    Ringtone
    Year-end giving requests
    What's at stake
    Giving vehicles, tax and family involvement.
  7. Buying a second home

    “Buying a vacation home? Ownership structure decides taxes and what your kids inherit.”
    Ringtone
    The offer on a lake house
    What's at stake
    Title, trusts and rental rules.
  8. Private investments piling up

    “Too many private deals and capital calls? Your liquidity plan needs a look.”
    Ringtone
    An unexpected capital call
    What's at stake
    Illiquid investments and cash needs.
  9. Moving states for taxes

    “Moving from a high-tax state? Changing your residency is more than a new driver's license.”
    Ringtone
    A home purchase in another state
    What's at stake
    Domicile rules and audits.
  10. Updating trusts after law changes

    “Your estate plan was written under old law. A review could save your heirs a lot.”
    Ringtone
    Tax law news
    What's at stake
    Exemption changes and trust updates.
