Stifel offers estate planning review services:
Estate Plan AnalysisWhether you have an existing estate plan or are just beginning the estate planning process, one of our estate planning professionals will conduct a comprehensive review of your situation. He or she will then work with you and your Stifel Financial Advisor to help you understand your estate planning situation while identifying areas for improvement. In order to best serve you, our estate planning professionals may ask that you provide certain information, including any existing estate planning documents (e.g., wills, trusts, and powers of attorney).
Documents needed for review:
- Financial & Wealth Planning Questionnaire and signed Client Agreement.
- Estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, health care powers of attorney, and living wills. Any other miscellaneous estate planning documents, such as special needs trusts or irrevocable life insurance trusts.
- Life insurance policies with most recent statements, including any group insurance coverage, if still employed.
- Health insurance-related documents, such as disability income and long-term care insurance, including current statements.
- Most recent statements from outside investment firms and banks, types of accounts, including IRAs and qualified plans or TOD (transfer on death)/POD (payable on death) accounts, how they are titled, and beneficiaries.
- Property/casualty insurance policies, including homeowner’s, auto, and umbrella liability coverage, if in effect.
