Trusts & Wills

One of the most important steps you can take for your family is to create a clear and enforceable plan for your estate. We help you:

  • Draft and review Wills that clearly express your final wishes
  • Establish Living Trusts to avoid probate and protect privacy
  • Appoint trusted guardians for minors or dependents
  • Coordinate your estate plan with insurance and retirement accounts

We work with estate attorneys and other professionals to ensure your plan is complete and properly executed.

Legacy Planning

Legacy planning is more than passing down assets — it’s about preserving your values, protecting your family, and creating generational impact. Our services include:

  • Charitable giving strategies
  • Wealth transfer planning
  • Family banking and education funding
  • Guidance on how to minimize estate taxes and keep more in the family

Whether your legacy is financial, charitable, or educational, GFI helps you pass it on purposefully.

Final Expense Integration

A key part of legacy planning is relieving loved ones of financial burdens after you’re gone. We integrate final expense insurance and planning into your estate strategy to ensure:

  • Funeral and burial costs are covered
  • Medical debts don’t burden your heirs
  • Funds are available immediately without legal delays

These small policies can have a big emotional and financial impact for your loved ones.
