Estate PlanningYour Legacy Deserves
a Thoughtful Plan
Your wealth represents a lifetime of work, sacrifice and important decisions. A thoughtful estate plan can help protect the people you care about, preserve your assets and provide clear direction for the future.
Estate planning is about more than who receives your assets. It is also about preparing for the unexpected, protecting your family and ensuring that your financial affairs reflect your wishes.
What We DoA Coordinated Approach
At Spindletop Private Wealth Group LLC, we help you develop a financial strategy designed to support your estate-planning goals and the legacy you want to leave. We work to understand your family, business interests, real estate holdings and long-term priorities, then coordinate with your estate-planning attorney, CPA and other professionals to help bring each part of your plan together.
Our role is to help connect your investments, retirement accounts, insurance, real estate and business interests with the legal and tax planning provided by your other professionals.
Planning PriorityKey Areas to Address
Estate planning can touch nearly every part of your financial life. These are some of the areas we help clients organize and coordinate.
WEALTH TRANSFER STRATEGIES
Develop a thoughtful approach for transferring wealth to a spouse, children, grandchildren, other beneficiaries or charitable organizations.
BENEFICIARY REVIEW
Review beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, insurance policies and investment accounts so they remain consistent with your intentions.
TRUST & ESTATE COORDINATION
Help evaluate how financial assets may work alongside wills, trusts and related documents prepared by your attorney.
BUSINESS SUCCESSION
Prepare for the eventual transition, sale or continuation of a closely held business while considering family, partner and successor needs.
REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS
Coordinate planning for families whose wealth includes rental properties, apartment communities, commercial real estate or other investments.
TAX-AWARE PLANNING
Work alongside legal and tax professionals to explore strategies intended to preserve more wealth for family and charitable interests.
CHARITABLE GIVING
Incorporate churches, community organizations and other causes that matter to you into your broader financial plan.
ESTATE LIQUIDITY
Evaluate whether the estate may have sufficient liquidity for taxes, debts, expenses and family needs without forcing untimely asset sales.
SPECIALIZED PERSPECTIVEPlanning for Business Owners and Real Estate Investors
Business owners and real estate investors often face estate-planning decisions that extend beyond traditional investment accounts. Ownership interests, debt, property management, business succession and family involvement can make the transfer of wealth more complex.
Firsthand Experience
Glenn McWherter grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and started a residential real estate business at age 18 while attending college. He has owned numerous single-family properties and apartment communities throughout Southeast Texas, as well as commercial office space.
Practical Insight
This firsthand experience gives Glenn valuable insight into the financial concerns of entrepreneurs, business owners and real estate investors. He understands that personal wealth is often closely connected to businesses and property holdings - and that both must be considered when developing a lasting legacy plan.
Questions Worth Considering
Who will manage your properties or business if you are unable to do so? Are family members prepared to inherit operating assets? Will the estate have enough liquidity to cover obligations? Are ownership and beneficiary arrangements aligned with your intentions? A coordinated plan can help address these questions before they become urgent.
Our ProcessFrom Conversation to Coordination
Estate planning works best when it is integrated with the rest of your financial life and revisited as circumstances change.
Discuss your family, assets, business interests, concerns and vision for the future.
Identify investment accounts, retirement assets, insurance, real estate, business interests and beneficiary arrangements.
Look for outdated designations, liquidity concerns, concentrated assets or succession-planning needs.
Work with your attorney, CPA and other professionals so the financial strategy supports their legal and tax planning.
Keep the plan connected to changes in your family, wealth, business interests and the planning environment.
KEEPING THE PLAN CURRENTWhen Should You Review Your Estate Plan?
An estate plan is not a one-time document. It should evolve with your family, finances and goals. Consider a review following any of these events:
- Marriage, divorce or remarriage
- Death or incapacity of a family member
- Birth or adoption of a child or grandchild
- A move to another state
- A significant inheritance
- A substantial change in financial position
- Purchase or sale of a business
- Changes in estate or tax laws
- Acquisition or sale of substantial real estate
- Three to five years since the last comprehensive review
- Retirement or a major career change
A regular review can help uncover gaps before they create unintended consequences for your family, business or property holdings.
