to create a clear path to allow the Legacy Portfolio to meet the aspirations of the stakeholders.

Douglas Wilson Companies has implemented a four phase process to create a clear path to allow the Legacy Portfolio to meet the aspirations of the stakeholders.

Through our prior work with families and partnerships, we have refined a unique four phase process to help stakeholders, and their professional advisors, deal with critical issues involving their Legacy Portfolio.

The first three services are defined by a separate fixed fee and each segment is independent of one another. The fourth phase is based on market rate fees for the intended implementation.

DWC acts as a resource to other professionals. We work with estate planning lawyers, bank trust departments or private accounting firms to provide unique expertise based on our experience as a trusted fiduciary, combined with our unique real estate expertise. Through this expertise, we provide real time resources for dealing with complicated portfolio issues.

Phase I creates a Legacy Portfolio Assessment, which is presented to the advisors and stakeholders.

Phase II creates a summary of Goals & Desired Outcomes, which is presented to the advisors and stakeholders.

This finalized Asset Transfer Plan becomes the governing document for the Legacy Portfolio.

Aspirations of the stakeholders are carried out in the absence of acrimony or value diminution.
