so when we’re working with high net
00:06
worth clients what we like to do is to
00:08
take a modular approach to their
00:10
planning
00:11
so what we find is a lot of times folks
00:13
come in and they don’t even have sort of
00:14
the basic fundamental
00:16
pieces in place so we always start there
00:20
and we we typically with a high net
00:22
worth client are going to be building
00:24
revocable living trust plans and that
00:26
will be sort of the baseline
00:28
for them and then we’ll add to that
00:30
depending on what their
00:32
what their particular circumstances are
00:35
so we may be looking at things like
00:36
estate tax planning where we may use
00:39
wyoming llc’s to obtain valuation
00:41
discounts or we may use
00:43
b debts beneficiary defective inheritors
00:47
trust
00:48
or we may use intentionally defective
00:50
grantor’s trust to freeze their
00:53
estate tax we may be doing some
00:55
succession planning if there’s a
00:57
business involved
00:58
it depends on what the individual
01:01
circumstances are
01:02
but what we we like to do is just start
01:05
with
01:05
the fundamental foundational pieces and
01:08
then build on to that as we go
