Why Estate Planning is Important
Spare Your Loved Ones the Headache
An outdated plan, or no plan at all, can unravel everything you worked to create. Without a plan, your assets may stall in probate, pass to the wrong people or carry a tax burden your heirs didn’t expect.
Our estate planning strategies help provide:
Procedures, Not Assumptions
Share your legacy with clarity and purpose by aligning your financial strategy with your estate plan.
Integration, Not Friction
Coordinate your estate strategy with your wealth and tax plans so the people and causes you love can receive what you intend, with as few hiccups as possible.

Coordination with your attorney or legal professional on wills, trusts and supporting documents

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to commonly asked questions about our estate planning strategies.
Can CapStar draft my will or trust documents?
We don’t practice law or draft legal documents. Instead, we coordinate directly with your trusted estate attorney or legal professional to help ensure your documents reflect your wishes and align with your broader plan.
How do you keep my beneficiary designations from falling out of date?
Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts and insurance policies often override what your will says, so that a forgotten update can send assets to the wrong person. We review your designations as part of your ongoing plan, flag anything that no longer matches your intentions and coordinate updates with you so your accounts, documents and wishes stay in sync over time.
Can you help me leave a gift to a charity or cause I care about?
Yes. Many of the families we serve want their legacy to reflect their values. We help you explore charitable giving strategies, such as charitable remainder trusts and other structured gifts, then coordinate with your other trusted professionals so your generosity supports your overall retirement, tax and legacy strategies.
