A legacy for generations

Team Photo 2023

We understand the connections between wealth and family, and we’re committed to being there for our clients over multigenerations and life events. Our holistic wealth management approach starts with comprehensive financial planning that is solutions-focused, risk-aware and tailored to your specific needs. We offer relevant and useful guidance for navigating life's major milestones, whether you're selling assets or a business, transitioning into retirement or coordinating your estate planning.

An important focus for many of our clients includes a thoughtful asset protection strategy as part of their comprehensive financial plan. This helps ensure those assets are preserved in a tax-efficient manner and passed on to future generations according to your wishes. We offer guidance in making wise estate and philanthropic decisions when passing on your legacy through both wealth transfer solutions and by helping children and heirs understand the value of their assets.

UBS Financial Services Inc., its affiliates, and its employees are not in the business of providing tax or legal advice. Clients should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

With deep roots in the financial services industry since 1961, we're committed to service as our clients' advocates across each generation

- Philip Danishefsky
