We define Integrated Planning as the synergistic melding of insurance and estate and business planning.

Life Insurance can be a particularly complex financial instrument. It also can be very flexible, permitting customization to meet unique needs and objectives. Well honed analytical skills and expertise are essential to accommodate these demands.

Likewise, the legal, tax, and personal dimensions of a family’s generational or business succession planning mandates not only a high degree of technical expertise, but also the wisdom to appreciate which planning strategies are suitable and enduring.

The attorneys, CPAs and financial advisors we collaborate with appreciate our unique ability to bridge both worlds. In select cases, we approach this with a keen focus by employing a unique and proprietary process, The Legacy Bridge™, that spans the gap between insight and action, between vision and results.

The Legacy Bridge TM

Insuring Family and business goals

For affluent families, the intricacies and complexities associated with managing wealth can threaten peace of mind, legacy, and enjoyment. Tax implications, liquidity concerns, business succession planning, and risk management matters can all create anxiety if not attended with care.

To address the risks, families need experts, not products.
They need critical thinking and strategy, not merely tactics.

The Herman Agency operates with a bias towards principled, exhaustive analysis, authentic and impartial advice, and a comprehensive, confidential process. Through The Legacy BridgeTM, we offer integrated wealth protection strategies that dramatically transform ambiguity into clarity, complexity into simplicity, and uncertainty into confidence.
