Who they serve
Fee-only advisors for multi-generational families
Multi-generational families bring planning challenges that don't surface in a single-household relationship: financial education across generations, governance and decision-rights, gifting and dynasty trusts, family meetings, and the coordination that lets a senior generation transfer wealth and stewardship without losing alignment.
