Who this is for

Built for Rancho Mirage LGBTQ+ households

Rancho Mirage is quieter, more affluent, and more gated than Palm Springs — long-partnered LGBTQ+ retirees in golf-course communities with meaningful net worth.

  • The federal estate exemption is $15M per person for 2026 under the OBBBA (permanent, indexed) — with multiple properties and decades of appreciation, lifetime gifting and trust structure are still the levers that keep future growth out of the estate.
  • You have multiple properties in multiple states and the titling is inconsistent.
  • You'd like to make lifetime gifts to nieces, nephews, godchildren, or LGBTQ+ organizations and no one has structured it.
  • Your trust doesn't reflect your current partner or current beneficiaries.
  • Rancho Mirage's queer-affirming, gated-community premium runs $700–$1,200/mo above further-inland Coachella — a legitimate line item for a household with real net worth, and one that should shape the gifting cadence, not just the monthly budget.

How we help Rancho Mirage households

Estate documents that actually reflect your life

Wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and beneficiary audits refreshed for who you actually chose — not defaults written for someone else's family. Especially the pieces most Rancho Mirage couples wrote a decade ago and haven't looked at since.

DAF + charitable stacking

Bunching donations into a donor-advised fund in high-income years to clear the standard deduction — and directing the giving to LGBTQ+ orgs that matter to you.

Retirement withdrawal sequencing

Which bucket to pull from and when — taxable, traditional, Roth, Social Security timing, Medicare IRMAA thresholds — so your income lasts and your tax bill doesn't spike.
