Multigenerational Legacy and
Estate Planning
Planning for what passes from one generation to the next.
Preserving wealth across generations requires more than determining where assets will go. It requires connecting the family’s intentions with the people, structures, investments, and decisions that will carry them forward.
Cleros helps bring those pieces together around what the wealth is ultimately intended to accomplish.

What we deliver
A plan grounded in the
family’s values
Values provide the foundation for long-term wealth planning.
We help families define what the wealth is intended to support so those priorities can inform investment decisions, estate planning, philanthropy, governance, and the responsibilities ultimately given to future generations.
Coordination across
generations
Generational planning involves the people who hold wealth today and those who may eventually become responsible for it.
We help create continuity across generations by bringing family members into the planning process at appropriate stages and providing context around the decisions and structures already in place.
Estate-plan
coordination
We work with estate counsel to connect trusts, ownership structures, investments, liquidity, business interests, charitable objectives, and other assets with the family’s long-term intentions.
Wealth-transfer
planning
The timing and structure of wealth transfers can affect taxes, liquidity, investment strategy, family dynamics, and the responsibilities assumed by the next generation.
We help evaluate those decisions within the broader wealth plan and coordinate implementation with tax and legal professionals.
Investment planning across
generations
Different generations may have different time horizons, spending requirements, tax circumstances, and responsibilities.
We help connect those needs to an investment strategy that supports both current financial requirements and longer-term generational objectives.
Continuity as circumstances
change
Families, assets, tax laws, businesses, and priorities evolve.
We revisit the strategy over time so the structures and decisions supporting the family’s legacy can evolve with them.
FAQs about multigenerational legacy and estate planning
The process begins with the priorities the family wants its wealth to support. Those may include financial independence, future generations, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, education, community involvement, or other objectives. Those values can then provide context for the financial strategy.
There is no single age. Involvement can develop gradually as younger family members become ready for greater financial knowledge and responsibility.
We help provide context around how the wealth was created, how it is structured, why financial decisions have been made, and what responsibilities may eventually accompany it.
The objective is not to prescribe every future decision. It is to communicate the reasoning and priorities behind the family’s financial choices so future generations understand the context they are inheriting.
Trusts and other estate structures can help implement the family’s intentions, but they are only one part of the strategy. Investments, liquidity, taxes, governance, and the preparedness of future generations also affect how successfully wealth transfers over time.
Yes. Different generations may have different objectives, time horizons, liquidity needs, and tax circumstances. Those differences can be reflected while still maintaining a coordinated view of the family’s broader wealth.
