CFP®-certified, multi-generational wealth transfer financial advisors in Shelton, CT
The right financial advisor for you depends on how you weigh location, expertise, experience, the clients they typically serve, and how they work with you.
You might be facing complex decisions about passing wealth to your children or grandchildren, especially if your estate could be subject to significant taxes. Without focused expertise, it's easy to overlook how state and federal tax rules interact, potentially reducing what your heirs receive.
CFP® certification means these advisors have formal training in financial planning, including tax and estate matters.
- Estate and gift tax planning. Confirm how they navigate both federal and Connecticut-specific tax rules to protect your assets.
- Generational coordination. Ask how they help align your wealth transfer goals with the needs and timing preferences of multiple family members.
- Trust and beneficiary structuring. Understand their approach to setting up trusts or beneficiary designations that reflect your long-term intentions.
- Legacy preservation strategies. Inquire about methods they use to maintain family wealth across generations while managing tax exposure.
Here are top matches to get you started. Review each profile to compare experience, credentials, and approach.

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
