Wealth, and managing it, are complex endeavors.
Successful families often want to enhance their wealth and preserve a legacy that will last for generations to come. Yet, estate planning generally comes last in the high-net-worth family service cycle, preventing families from realizing the benefits of intentional, holistic planning.
At the same time, Family Offices and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) who work with such families face regulatory burdens that hinder their efforts to advise families in these areas.
We can help.
We work directly with Families having taxable estates to craft comprehensive Financial and Estate plans.
For RIAs who choose to outsource estate planning and insurance solutions, Stavis Wealth serves as a business-to-business resource.
As an RIA ourselves, we perform all these services with a fiduciary commitment.

When the Bull Market Hides the Broken Plan: Why Now Is the Time to Review Your Estate
26th January 2026
For the past fifteen years, checking your investment account has been gratifying. Markets have climbed with only brief interruptions. Balances have grown. The numbers on the screen have mostly gone up and to the right. And because of that, many investors haven’t felt compelled to look closely at the details. Why scrutinize something that’s working? The problem is that the same complacency often extends beyond portfolios and into estate planning. If you haven’t opened your brokerage statement in months, there’s a good chance you haven’t reviewed your estate plan in years (never mind the complacency that comes from the new, higher estate tax exemption levels). And unlike an investment portfolio, which can recover from neglect, an outdated estate plan creates consequences that are permanent and irreversible.
Stop Fighting Over the Will and Start Building Family Unity
12th January 2026
Dr. Jeremy Lurey returns to tackle the hard truth: 70% of Americans die without estate plans, but even perfect legal documents fail when families avoid honest conversations. He reveals why women will control 60-70% of wealth within twenty years yet remain unprepared, exposes the emotional landmines of "equal" versus "equitable" inheritance, and shares the $25 million story that proves fairness isn't about numbers. Dr. Lurey introduces the "Now Gen" framework for empowering rising generations today, explains how strategic philanthropy becomes the glue that unifies fractured families, and provides the coordination roadmap for indivisible assets, toxic trustees, and the psychology of wealth transfer that traditional advisors won't address.
