Building your legacy

Whether it’s providing income for your spouse, funding college for your children or grandchildren or leaving money to your favorite charitable causes, estate planning can help ensure that the money you have accumulated over your lifetime is preserved for the use you have intended.

Through our affiliate, Raymond James Trust N.A., we offer a complete range of trust structures, including charitable-giving tools that may also feature tax advantages. Whether your goal is to minimize estate taxes, help ensure you have the funds you need down the road, provide for a loved one or spell out how you want your wishes to be carried out, we can help.

Giving can not only help the organizations you choose, but can also generate personal tax benefits and advance your wealth management plan. We can help you with solutions that include private family foundations, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, pooled-income funds and donor-advised funds.

Funding a child’s or grandchild’s higher education can be a personally rewarding use of your wealth. We can help you provide for this opportunity with investment vehicles such as Coverdell education savings accounts, 529 college savings accounts and specialized trust vehicles.
