We strive to develop long-term relationships with our clients so that we may assist them with the many financial decisions they must make in their lives.
Estate Planning
At Renaissance, our advisors have a high degree of competency in all facets of the estate planning process.
We spend the time necessary with our clients, and their families if that’s desired, to determine their specific goals and objectives for the future. During this process our advisors suggest different alternatives for accomplishing our client’s intentions, write-up a detailed plan, and work with attorneys to draft the final documents.
Because we are involved with all aspects of client’s financial lives, we are able to offer comprehensive counsel that takes all those considerations into account.
Insurance Review
Proper insurance coverage is a key aspect to protecting our client’s assets. Since Renaissance does not sell insurance or any other products, our advisors are able to provide an objective examination of our client’s existing policies to determine if they’re adequately covered.
After carefully assessing the amount of risk, we determine if there are substantial holes or excesses in coverage and that the required levels of insurance are provided in the most cost effective manner possible.
