Our Services

Wealth Management Services

 

Estate Planning and Tax Specialists
An estate plan is a key component of your overall wealth management strategy. We can help identify planning opportunities and issues, as well as introduce experts to advise you on strategies that suit your circumstances and oversee the successful implementation of your personal estate plan. With planning, you can maximize the value of your estate, minimize taxes and have control over how your estate is distributed.

 

Trust and Executor Services
We can engage experts such as BMO Trust Company to offer the unique protection and tax-savings potential of trusts. BMO Trust Company can also provide will reviews and will direction as part of your overall wealth plan. Executor services are also offered to help ease the burden of administering an estate.

 
 

Insurance
Asset preservation is an integral component of a comprehensive wealth plan. In partnership with our Estate and Insurance Advisors, we can recommend insurance solutions that will complement your overall wealth strategy and provide a greater sense of assurance.

 

 

Asset Management and Investments

With access to a world of investment solutions, we will recommend specific solutions that are tailored to your needs while complementing your overall wealth management strategy – everything from fee-based, managed solutions and traditional investments, to alternative investments and structured products.
 

 

Business Succession Planning

Succession planning is a process, not an event. Proper planning can ensure the ongoing stewardship of the business you have worked so hard to build. We can assist you with planning for retirement and the transition of management and ownership of your business, whether to a family member, employee or a third party.
 

 

Lending Services

Whether you’re looking to secure a mortgage, personal loan or line of credit – or if you require more specialized lending services to fulfill and optimize your wealth management strategy – we will work with you to access the expertise of a BMO Bank of Montreal lending specialist.
 

 

Philanthropic Services

Strategic philanthropy and charitable giving is an extension of your personal beliefs and convictions. We can help you implement a solution that will have a long-term impact and enduring difference in your community and create a lasting family legacy. The solution may be anything from a donor advised fund to the creation of a private foundation.
