Income for life for you and your family while reducing your taxes. By using assets or cash to fund the trust, you receive income and an income tax credit the year in which you transfer your assets. The remaining portion of the trust, after all payments have been made, comes to you.
Preserving wealth across generations requires thoughtful planning, coordination, and trusted guidance. At Global Investment Strategies, we help families and business owners explore estate planning strategies designed to support long-term wealth preservation, family continuity, and charitable objectives. Rather than replacing your attorney or tax professional, our role is to work alongside your existing advisors to help ensure financial assets, insurance strategies, and long-term planning objectives align with the intent of your estate documents.

Many estate plans begin with well-written legal documents, but over time those documents may become disconnected from the financial assets they were designed to govern. We often see situations where:
Insurance strategies are not coordinated with estate objectives
Business succession intentions are not clearly reflected in financial planning
Our role is to help clients review these areas and identify opportunities to bring their financial strategies into alignment with their estate planning goals.
Estate planning works best when financial, legal, and tax professionals collaborate. Global Investment Strategies works alongside your trusted professionals, including your estate planning attorney, CPA or tax advisor, business advisors, and trustees or family decision makers. You can see how this coordination works in practice in Technical Advocacy: Coordinating Your Legal and Tax Teams.
