Trust and Estate Planning

An estate plan plays an essential role in preserving wealth for the future. As experienced financial professionals, we specialize in creating estate plans for individuals and business owners to safeguard their wealth. We employ a number of proven tax planning strategies to ensure that your beneficiaries are minimally taxed on your assets, and that the funds will be transferred to them in an organized and timely manner. When we develop your estate plan, we’ll tailor it to your desires, time frame, and financial situation to ensure it’s a true reflection of your goals.

The Neal Group, LLC is devoted to delivering unparalleled customer service with a personal touch. We firmly believe that the most important step in designing an appropriate estate plan is listening, so we take the time to learn all we can about each of our clients before we start building their unique plan. We then outline an estate plan to match their particular needs and preferences, while protecting assets for their beneficiaries.
