Wealth Planning

Our teams of wealth planning professionals partner with you to bring your financial goals to fruition.

At First Western Trust, we take the time to understand the complexities of your financial world. Then, we partner with you to bring your financial goals to fruition. We have a team (not just one individual) working for your benefit, which means you get access to the best financial planning minds in the business — CFP® professionals, CPAs, and other estate planning professionals, to name a few — coupled with superior wealth planning strategies individually tailored to your own personal or business situation.

We believe that financial decisions are about more than financials. Every investment, real estate holding, trust, or philanthropic endeavor connects. Through our proprietary ConnectView approach, we look at the four dimensions of your wealth and put your story at the center.

Each aspect is important to the overall story of your wealth and acknowledges a guiding truth: each and every investment, real estate holding, trust, or philanthropic endeavor connects.
