At Thayer Financial, we understand that true financial planning is about more than growing your wealth — it’s about protecting it and ensuring it serves your loved ones and the causes you care about for generations to come. That’s why estate planning and wealth transfer are crucial parts of the conversations we have with our clients.
Whether you’re building your legacy or preparing to pass it on, having a clear estate plan ensures your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected from unnecessary financial burdens.
Estate planning isn’t just for the ultra-wealthy. It’s for anyone who wants to have a say in how their assets — from real estate and investment accounts to family heirlooms — are distributed.

At Thayer Financial, we believe wealth transfer isn’t just about the transfer of money — we help families think through these conversations intentionally, preparing the next generation to be good stewards of what you have built.

At Thayer Financial, you’ll work with a collaborative team of financial experts — including estate planning specialists like Brittney — who will help design a plan tailored to your unique circumstances and goals.
We coordinate closely with your attorney and CPA to ensure your estate plan is not only legally sound but also aligned with your broader financial plan. And as your life evolves — new family members, business changes, charitable passions — we help you keep your estate plan up-to-date.
Estate planning and wealth transfer can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Thayer Financial, we make the process approachable, personal, and focused on what matters most to you.
Whether you need to create your first estate plan or update an existing one, our team is here to help guide you every step of the way.
