During the interview, Blair discusses the extraordinary value proposition he provides clients. Estate planning shouldn’t be something that starts when a loved one reaches an end-of-life stage. Start planning as assets accumulate, then revisiting the plan on an annual basis or around a major life event may not seem so daunting.
Chris says, “No matter what your age or net worth, you need an estate plan to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your assets — during your lifetime, as well as after your death. It’s helpful to have a basic understanding of the documents recommended for an estate plan.”
In the podcast interview, some of the items discussed are:
- What are some of the more common issues with estate planning?
- When done right, what does estate planning look like?
- What is the most significant mistake people make in estate planning?

Blair continued, ” Your dreams matter. We understand the challenges that make it harder to achieve your financial goals, and we’re ready to provide the education, coaching, and advice. We believe your financial success is achievable no matter your current situation or economic status. We feel that flat-fee planning is a unique opportunity for our clients which differs from traditional financial advising in some compelling ways. The average financial planner charges you a percentage of the total holdings in your portfolio, this is called an asset under management (A.U.M.) pricing model. Some planners charge a commission on every purchase or transaction. At Maestro Associates we believe in simplicity and transparency. Our flat fee model ensures that you have flexibility to make adjustments to your financial plan as often as necessary without being surprised by transaction fees. Whether you are managing a large portfolio or just getting started, everything is up-front and on-the-table so you know exactly what you are paying for.”
