Private Wealth Advisory for Sands Point: The Real Great Gatsby Coast
Sands Point is Fitzgerald's real-life East Egg, where the Guggenheim family's Castlegould, Hempstead House, and Falaise still stand as monuments to American wealth. Today, with a mean household income exceeding $428,000 and median home sales at $3.1 million, Sands Point remains one of the most affluent communities in the nation. United Financial Planning Group provides the private, fee-only advisory that this community's wealth demands.

Ultra-High-Net-Worth Advisory for Sands Point
With 83% of adults holding bachelor's degrees or higher and estate values routinely exceeding $5 million, Sands Point families face planning challenges at the highest level of complexity. From qualified opportunity zones to private trust companies, your strategy needs to match your scale.
Qualified Opportunity Zone Investments
For Sands Point families with significant realized capital gains, qualified opportunity zone investments can provide tax deferral and potential elimination of gains on the new investment. We evaluate QOZ fund quality, structure, and fit within your broader portfolio and tax strategy.
Private Trust Company Structuring
When your family's wealth exceeds what standard trust arrangements can efficiently manage, a private trust company may offer greater control, privacy, and flexibility. We help evaluate whether this structure fits your family's scale and coordinate establishment with trust counsel.
Family Governance and Succession Planning
Sands Point families often span multiple generations, business interests, and philanthropic commitments. We design governance frameworks (including family councils, investment policy statements, and next-generation education programs) that keep wealth management organized and reduce the friction that can tear families apart.
Philanthropic Advisory for Preservation Families
The Sands Point Preserve exists because the Guggenheim family chose preservation over development. Many current Sands Point families carry that same philanthropic commitment. We structure giving programs through private foundations, donor-advised funds, and charitable trusts that maximize both impact and tax efficiency.
Fee-Only Fiduciary for the Most Discerning Clients
At this level of wealth, the cost of conflicted advice isn't measured in basis points; it's measured in millions. Our fee-only model ensures that every recommendation we make exists solely to serve your family's objectives, free from any product-driven agenda.
Planning at the Scale of Sands Point
Sands Point occupies a unique position in American wealth, the literal inspiration for Fitzgerald's depiction of old money, and still home to families whose financial lives operate at a scale most advisors never encounter. The Sands Point Preserve, with Castlegould and Hempstead House still standing from the Guggenheim era, serves as a daily reminder that wealth here is measured in legacy, not just liquidity. With roughly 2,700 residents and a median home sale price of $3.1 million, Sands Point is small enough to be private and wealthy enough to demand the highest caliber of financial counsel. The planning challenges here aren't about saving enough for retirement; they're about structuring wealth across trusts, foundations, operating businesses, and real estate holdings that collectively may exceed $20 million or more per family. A private trust company might make sense where a standard revocable trust falls short. A qualified opportunity zone investment might absorb gains from a business sale. A family governance structure might prevent the kind of inheritance disputes that have destroyed wealthier families. These are the planning conversations that Sands Point families need, and they require an advisor who operates at that level while remaining genuinely independent.
