Wealth Management That Honors Upper Brookville's Legacy of Preservation
Upper Brookville is defined by Planting Fields Arboretum (409 acres of the former Coe estate preserved as public parkland) and by families who carry that same ethic of stewardship into their personal wealth planning. United Financial Planning Group provides fee-only advisory that aligns your financial strategy with Upper Brookville's preservation-first values.

What Changes When Everything Works Together
Most advisory firms do one thing well and outsource the rest. At United Financial Planning Group, your investment decisions, retirement timeline, and tax planning reinforce each other, because the same team handles all three.

Wealth Strategies for Upper Brookville's Preservation-Minded Families
With approximately 1,500 residents, homes routinely exceeding $3 million, and an equestrian tradition that dates to the Gold Coast era, Upper Brookville requires wealth management that respects both financial complexity and community character.
Estate and Gift Tax Planning for Ultra-High Net Worth
Upper Brookville's estate values frequently exceed federal and state exemption thresholds, creating significant tax exposure. We design strategies using irrevocable life insurance trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, and lifetime gifting programs to minimize estate shrinkage upon transfer.
Conservation Easement Strategies
The preservation ethic that saved Planting Fields extends to private landowners throughout Upper Brookville. We help families evaluate conservation easements as both a legacy tool and a tax planning mechanism, quantifying deductions, coordinating appraisals, and ensuring compliance with IRS requirements.
Family Governance Structures
When wealth is measured in the tens of millions and multiple generations are involved, governance matters. We help establish family constitutions, investment committees, and decision-making frameworks that reduce conflict and keep family wealth management organized across branches and generations.
Philanthropic Planning for Preservation-Oriented Families
Many Upper Brookville families direct their charitable giving toward land conservation, historic preservation, and environmental causes. We structure giving programs, including charitable remainder trusts and private foundations that maximize impact while generating meaningful tax advantages.
Fee-Only Fiduciary Commitment
Upper Brookville families have no shortage of advisors seeking their business. Our distinction is structural: as fee-only fiduciaries, we have no proprietary products and no commission incentives, avoiding the conflicts that arise from product sales. Your wealth plan reflects your goals. Period.
Wealth Planning in the Shadow of Planting Fields
Upper Brookville's character was shaped by the Gold Coast families who built grand estates here a century ago, and by the conservation decisions that preserved many of those properties as public lands. Planting Fields Arboretum, the 409-acre former estate of William Robertson Coe, stands as the most visible example, but the preservation ethic runs through the entire community. Private roads wind through wooded lots measured in acres, equestrian fences line the landscape, and the population of roughly 1,500 maintains the lowest density in the area. For families here, wealth planning isn't about accumulation; it's about preservation in every sense. How do you maintain a $4 million estate property without liquidating investments? How do you structure a conservation easement that actually delivers the promised tax benefit? How do you keep three generations aligned on the family's financial direction? These are the questions Upper Brookville families bring to us, and they're questions that demand an advisor who takes preservation as seriously as performance.
