Life transition & legacy planning.

 

Guidance through life’s biggest changes—keeping your business, estate, and personal plans aligned through every season.

Built for family-owned, service-based businesses.

At Canyon Oak Financial, we know transitions are part of every family and business story. Whether it’s the joy of retirement, the challenges of divorce, the complexity of caregiving, or the weight of passing on a legacy, these moments shape not only your finances but your future. We help you navigate them with clarity, collaboration, and strategies that honor your values.

What you can expect:
  • A coordinated plan that evolves with major life events

  • Guidance on preparing heirs and family members for financial responsibility

  • Collaboration with attorneys to ensure estate documents match financial strategy

  • Tax-aware strategies for wealth transfer and gifting

  • Support in balancing personal needs with business continuity

Common questions:

Do you handle estate planning directly?

We don’t draft legal documents, but we partner with your attorney to ensure wills, trusts, and directives connect seamlessly with your financial and tax strategies.

Can you help prepare my family for inheritance or succession?

Yes—our work includes facilitating conversations, modeling outcomes, and helping family members understand their roles in carrying your legacy forward.

What if my personal life changes impact my business?

From divorce to caregiving to a sudden loss, we align business and personal financial strategies so you’re not left patching things together when life shifts.
