The Real Risk
How HNW Families Lose Their Wealth
Most families at this financial level don't lose their wealth from market performance. They lose it to missed conversations, unused strategies, and plans that were never put in place.
Lack of Communication
When the plan lives in one person's head, the next generation inherits questions instead of answers.
Underutilizing Estate Planning & Trusts
Tools like trusts, gifting, and tax-aware transfers only protect an estate when they are set up well before they are needed.
No Succession Plan
Without a clear plan for who decides and who inherits, even a well-built estate can unravel in a single generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to be involved for optimal generational planning?
Our advisors want to act as your point person for this planning, but involving your family attorney and accountant will ensure that you are covering all appropriate angles.
Do I have to involve my entire family in this discussion?
Every family is different. While open communication leads to optimal planning in many cases, sometimes involving the family over a period of decades works best. Our advisors will help you navigate this decision.
When is the right time to start generational planning?
Sooner than most people expect. The strategies that preserve the most wealth, such as trusts and gifting, work best when they are put in place well before they are needed.
Can you help if my family lives across the country?
Yes. Through our virtual family office, we coordinate your plan and meet with your family wherever they are, with the same level of service as meeting in person.
Do you handle services outside of generational planning?
Yes. When you work with an advisor, generational planning is just one part of what we cover. We coordinate your full financial picture, including tax planning, investment management, insurance, retirement income and more, so the pieces work together instead of in isolation.
What does the fee structure look like?
McCabe and Associates offers multiple structures, with the most common being fee-only, meaning we are paid directly by you rather than through commissions on the products we recommend. That keeps our advice aligned with your interests, and we walk you through the exact costs before you commit to anything.
