How to choose

  • Look for integrated tax + estate planning, not just investing.
  • Ask about account minimums (often $250k–$1M+).
  • Prefer a fiduciary, fee-only structure for transparency.
  • Check team depth — CPA and estate attorney access matters.

Typical cost

Typically 0.5%–1.25% of assets annually, often on a sliding scale that drops as your balance grows. Some firms offer flat family-office retainers.
