The Threat to Family Legacy

70%
Wealth lost by 2nd generation
Seven out of ten affluent families lose their accumulated wealth by the end of the second generation due to poor planning.
90%
Wealth lost by 3rd generation
By the third generation, nine out of ten family legacies are completely dissolved without structural estate governance.
60%
Failures caused by communication
Most legacy breakdowns stem from a breakdown in family communication and lack of shared mission, not market drops.
Our philosophy
We built The 200 Year Plan on a core conviction: wealth without governance disappears, but purpose-driven stewardship preserves legacy across generations.

Our founders recognized a critical flaw in traditional wealth management: standard plans focus narrowly on short-term market cycles and retirement horizons. They fail to address the long-term structural threats that cause family legacies to erode over multiple generations—tax friction, lack of governance, and poor preparation.

The 200 Year Plan is our answer to that generational challenge. By unifying advanced trust design, proactive tax strategy, dynamic capital preservation, and family stewardship, we strive to prolong your hard-earned wealth, so it serves a lasting purpose—giving your future heirs the clarity, tools, and values needed to preserve your legacy for two centuries.

OUR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY

Preserving what matters for generations to come

Every decision we make for our clients is grounded in four convictions that have guided our practice since our founding.

I
Generational Governance
We establish structured family counsel, shared mission statements, and heir education we strive to help your hard-earned wealth serve a lasting purpose—designed to provide your future heirs with the clarity, tools, and values needed to help protect your legacy for two centuries.
II
Estate Planning Strategies
We assist with multi-generational estate planning and insurance frameworks to defend your capital against estate taxes, litigation, probate, and fragmentation.
III
200-Year Portfolio Model
Our allocation strategies prioritize long-term compounding, risk-conscious capital preservation, and inflation resilience while managing market volatility to sustain multiple lifetimes.
IV
Fiduciary Stewardship
We act as permanent family advisors, integrating wealth, tax, and legal advisory to maintain alignment across generations.
