Our Approach

Peace comes with knowing your legacy is secure. But wills, trusts, and estates can be perplexing if you’re unfamiliar with the landscape. That’s where First Covenant Trust can help. Our professionals are familiar with the territory. Utilize First Covenant as your fiduciary and spend less time paying bills, filing taxes and managing investments, and more time focus­ing on what’s most important to you. We can help you avoid unnecessary taxes and family drama while providing impartial, objective guidance to your beneficiaries for generations. You can be confident your instructions will be honored, your beneficiaries treated with empathy and respect, and your legacy remembered. Everyone deserves that peace of mind.
