At Roots and Wings Legal, Legacy Engineering™ is more than just planning for the future—it’s about making a lasting difference that reflects deeply held values. Many families and business owners come to us with a vision to not only secure their business or estate but to make a meaningful impact on the world through charitable giving. Legacy Engineering™ brings together a family’s personal, financial, and philanthropic goals, ensuring that their legacy lives on with purpose.

Here's Why You Need Our Legacy Engineering™

Values-Based Planning

Every legacy we help design begins with a question: What values do you want your legacy to uphold? This goes beyond financial wealth, it captures the principles and causes most meaningful to you. Many of our clients find that charitable giving is an essential way to reflect their values. By identifying their core beliefs—such as supporting education, environmental conservation, or community development—we help them create a legacy that aligns with the ideals they hold dear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Legacy Engineering™?

Legacy Engineering™ is our unique approach to estate planning that goes beyond simply protecting wealth. Through Legacy Engineering™, we guide families in creating a legacy that aligns with their values, fosters family unity, and supports their charitable goals. It’s a comprehensive, purpose-driven framework that helps our clients engineer a lasting impact for future generations.

How is Legacy Engineering™ different from traditional estate planning?

Unlike traditional estate planning, which typically focuses on asset protection and tax efficiency, Legacy Engineering takes a holistic approach. We integrate wealth protection with family governance, philanthropic planning, and alignment with personal values. Our goal is to help clients create a legacy that reflects who they are and the impact they want to make.

Who is Roots and Wings Legal’s ideal client?

We primarily work with high-net-worth families who are looking for a more meaningful approach to estate planning. Our clients usually have estates valued at $10 million or more and are interested in preserving family harmony, supporting charitable causes, and ensuring their legacy endures beyond financial wealth.

What services are included in your Legacy Engineering™ process?

Our Legacy Engineering process includes Vision Mapping, Charitable Design Strategy, Multi-Generational Giving, and Legacy in Action. These services help clients define their legacy vision, craft philanthropic strategies, engage future generations in legacy planning, and implement their impact goals during their lifetime.

How can I learn more about upcoming events and workshops?

The best way to stay informed about our events is by subscribing to our newsletter. We frequently host exclusive workshops and webinars to help clients understand legacy planning, estate tax changes, and philanthropic opportunities.

Why should I be concerned about the 2026 tax law changes?

In 2026, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) is set to expire, which could significantly impact estate taxes. For high-net-worth families, this may mean higher tax liabilities. Our Legacy Engineering approach includes tax-efficient planning to help clients navigate these changes and protect their wealth.

Do you offer consultations?

Yes, we offer initial consultations to discuss your unique goals and see how we can support your legacy planning journey. During this meeting, we’ll explore your priorities and discuss how Legacy Engineering can help you create a purpose-driven legacy.
