Revocable Living Trusts Are About Continuity as Much as Probate
A trust only functions as intended when assets, governance, and implementation remain aligned.
Private Wealth Strategist
Wealth Strategy for Business Owners, Physicians, and Families with Complex Financial Lives
Private Wealth Strategist is where Christi Shell, Certified Wealth Strategist®, shares insights from her work advising business owners, physicians, executives, and families responsible for meaningful capital.
Families with complex financial lives eventually face a consistent set of wealth decisions—how to structure a business exit, how to reduce tax drag, how to protect assets from liability, how to generate retirement income, how to transfer wealth efficiently to heirs, and how to support family, philanthropic, and legacy goals.
Private Wealth Strategist explores those issues through the lens of integrated wealth strategy. Articles address topics such as investment strategy and portfolio management, tax planning, risk management and insurance, asset protection structures, executive compensation and stock options, business succession planning, education and family support, charitable giving strategies, retirement planning, estate distribution, and liquidity or credit management.
Rather than treating these decisions in isolation, Private Wealth Strategist examines how they interact—because the structure of one decision often shapes the outcome of another.
Christi Shell serves as Managing Director and Private Wealth Strategist at Shell Capital Management, LLC.
