Private wealth. Capital solutions. Legacy planning.
Wealth Strategy

Planning capabilities,coordinated as one.

Overtime Wealth Architecture™ 2.0 is the structure. Wealth Strategy is the planning that operates inside it, from tax coordination and entity structuring to liquidity, succession and legacy, brought together into one plan and carried out by the licensed professionals each area requires.

Architecture and strategy

The architecture is the structure. Strategy is the planning inside it.

Our Wealth System explains how Overtime Wealth Architecture™ 2.0 organizes a family’s wealth into four coordinated systems. This page explains the planning capabilities that operate within those systems: what each one considers, what Overtime does and who carries it out.

Capabilities at work

The mapping is shown for orientation. Several capabilities work across more than one system, and every family’s plan is different.

Planning capabilities

Nine capabilities.One coordinated plan.

Each capability is a set of planning considerations, not a product. For each one you will see what it considers, what Overtime does and who carries it out.

01
Tax & Capital Architecture

Tax strategy coordination

Income, ownership, investments and transitions all carry tax consequences. Tax coordination looks at those decisions together, before they are made, so each one is considered in the context of the whole plan rather than reviewed after the fact.

Overtime’s role

Architects the tax strategy and times each decision across the plan.

Carried out by

Our team, with our CPAs and enrolled agents, who evaluate every position and prepare every filing.

02
Ownership Architecture

Entity and trust structuring

How assets are owned shapes control, privacy, protection and how wealth eventually transfers. Structuring considers which entities and trusts may be appropriate, how they relate to one another and how they will be maintained.

Overtime’s role

Maps current ownership, designs the structure and prepares the trust documents.

Carried out by

Our attorneys, who advise on, review and finalize every entity and trust document, with our CPAs on tax treatment.

03
Ownership Architecture

Asset protection considerations

Protection planning considers how assets are titled, insured and held, and where exposures exist. It is planned in advance and within the law. It cannot shield every asset from every claim, and it is never a response to an existing creditor.

Overtime’s role

Identifies exposures across the plan and coordinates the review with counsel and insurance professionals.

Carried out by

Our attorneys, together with our insurance partners at WealthWave.

04
Ownership and Tax & Capital

Business optimization

For owners, the business is often the largest asset and the main source of income. Business planning considers structure, compensation, ownership and how the company fits within the family’s broader plan.

Overtime’s role

Connects business decisions to the personal plan and coordinates the owner’s advisors.

Carried out by

Our team, CPAs and attorneys, with business advisors where appropriate.

05
Legacy & Liquidity Architecture

Insurance and liquidity planning

Liquidity determines which options remain available when circumstances change. Insurance and liquidity planning considers protection needs, access to capital and how future obligations will be met. Policy selection and design are handled by licensed professionals.

Overtime’s role

Defines the liquidity and protection questions within the overall plan and coordinates the review.

Carried out by

Our insurance partners at WealthWave, licensed professionals, and the carriers that underwrite and issue each policy.

06
Tax & Capital Architecture

Capital efficiency considerations

Capital efficiency asks how existing assets, cash flow and borrowing capacity work together, so capital is neither left idle nor committed without a reason. It is a set of questions about trade-offs, never a promise of a return.

Overtime’s role

Frames the trade-offs and coordinates the analysis with the relevant professionals.

Carried out by

Our team and our financial advisors, with our CPAs and lenders as each decision requires.

07
Legacy & Liquidity Architecture

Succession

Succession planning considers how control, ownership and leadership pass from one person or generation to the next, in a business, a family enterprise or a portfolio of assets, and how to prepare the people involved.

Overtime’s role

Coordinates the timeline, the decisions and the conversations among family members and advisors.

Carried out by

Our attorneys and CPAs, with valuation professionals where needed.

08
Legacy & Liquidity Architecture

Legacy planning

Legacy planning considers what a family wants its wealth to accomplish beyond one lifetime, including estate planning, charitable intent and the values and education that travel with the assets.

Overtime’s role

Keeps the family’s intentions at the center of the plan and coordinates the advisors who document them.

Carried out by

Our attorneys and CPAs, with trustees and charitable advisors where appropriate.

09
Family Office Administration

Coordinated professional implementation

Strategy only matters when it is carried out correctly and kept current. Implementation brings each professional in at the right time, within their own license and scope, and keeps the plan under review as laws, families and circumstances change.

Overtime’s role

Leads the coordination, tracks open items and keeps every advisor working from the same plan.

Carried out by

Each licensed professional, within their own license and scope.

Strategy coordination

No decision stands alone. Each one reaches the others.

Select an area to see how it interacts with the rest of the plan. A business sale, a new trust or a new investment can reach into tax, liquidity, legal planning and legacy at the same time, which is why Overtime coordinates them as one strategy.
