Put expert-level analysis behind every recommendation

Model complex outcomes with confidence

Rely on purpose-built calculations that account for the estate plan, applicable tax regimes, and the interactions between them—not probabilistic estimates generated from a general purpose AI model.

Make the value of your advice measurable

Quantify how proposed strategies affect taxes, beneficiary outcomes, and the wealth transferred to family and philanthropy.

Turn sophisticated planning into an ongoing deliverable

Revisit the analysis as asset values, planning assumptions, and priorities change, then deliver an updated client experience without starting over.
Modeling

Deterministic Scenario Modeling

Model wealth transfer outcomes in the present day using data automatically imported into Luminary. Unlike AI-generated estimates or stand-alone calculators, Luminary’s deterministic engine calculates federal estate, state estate, inheritance, and GST taxes from the modeled plan—resolving interactions among jurisdictions, deductions, exemptions, beneficiary relationships, and who bears each tax. See what each beneficiary would actually receive through consistent, reviewable math.

Comparison

Hypothetical Outcome Comparisons

Start with the client’s current estate, then layer in gifts, trust strategies, charitable planning, valuation discounts, and different growth or timing assumptions to see what changes. Compare multiple hypotheticals side by side across estate value, taxes, and beneficiary outcomes. Use Tax Alpha reporting to quantify the federal and state tax value created by planning and make the impact of your advice tangible.

The deliverable updates automatically as values and analysis change, making wealth transfer an ongoing service rather than a once-a-year project.

“One of the things I’ve loved about Luminary are the calculators. Being able to pull that up and show clients in real time—if we change a growth rate or adjust an assumption—how does that strategy play out over time?”
