Recurring hypothetical transfers enabling forward-looking projections

Model recurring hypothetical transfers into the future

A common request from customers has been to model hypothetical transfers out into the future, such as annual exclusion gifting to children over multiple years, or repayments of loans. Now with our newest enhancements, you can:

  • Model recurring transfers across multiple years, with the option to model a growth rate.
  • Add, view, and manage all hypothetical transfers on a single screen, streamlining modifications and revision of proposed strategies.

Customized your Estate Waterfall views

Filter and auto-group entities in estate waterfall diagrams

We've added new features to Luminary's waterfall that make even the most complex estate structures easier to understand and convey to your client.

  • Filter by entity: Choose which entities to include or exclude from your clients' waterfalls to create custom views. Select individual entities, or group-select all entities that are in-estate, out of estate (family), or out of estate (charity).
  • Recalculate estate tax automatically, based on the displayed entities only.

⚡️ Customer spotlight

This month, we welcomed an array of new members to the Luminary ecosystem, including the family office of a prominent investment firm. This highly strategic family office got started using Luminary AI, and immediately sped up their process for auditing trust documents. A VP at the family office has been delighted with her experience so far, noting that it was fun to watch the family enterprise come together within minutes, and to see how Luminary AI can simplify dozens of pages of trust documents into clear bullet points. Luminary has already shaved hours from their review workflow.
