Copper Leaf Financial Works with Attorneys to Offer Comprehensive Advice
Copper Leaf Financial partners with attorneys to proactively offer clients holistic financial advice. This type of alliance places clients in the best position for long-term success!
Estate Planning
We work with attorneys to ensure that estate plans are closely aligned with the client’s overall financial plans:
- Assure assets are titled properly and beneficiary designations are made to support estate plan implementation keeping client family objectives in mind. Focus on beneficiary designations of life insurance policies and retirement accounts.
- Provide a comprehensive listing of client’s assets and liabilities, including historical cost basis.
- Analyze the impact of inherited IRAs on the designated beneficiaries.
- Provide fully integrated trust administration services working closely with non-bank trustees. Includes philanthropic giving and the use of CRTs, CLT’s and Donor Advised Funds.
- Encourage periodic review of estate documents and reminding clients to update plans with major changes in legislation or family circumstances.

- Sudden windfall or inheritance
- Divorce
- Business sale or other liquidity events
- Retirement
