Helping Families Preserve Wealth Without Forced Asset Sales

Marc Setton is the founder of Strategic Premium Finance, a specialized advisory practice focused on estate liquidity planning for business owners, real estate investors, and affluent families.

His work centers on helping clients address one of the most overlooked risks in wealth preservation:

Not a lack of net worth.

A lack of liquidity.

Marc collaborates with estate planning attorneys, CPAs, wealth advisors, and other trusted professionals to help families evaluate strategies designed to provide liquidity when it is needed most while preserving long-term assets and protecting family legacies.

Why Estate Liquidity Matters

Many families possess substantial wealth on paper but have much of that wealth concentrated in:

  • Closely held businesses
  • Real estate portfolios
  • Illiquid investments
  • Family partnerships
  • Legacy assets

When liquidity needs arise, whether because of estate taxes, equalization concerns, succession planning, or other obligations, families may face difficult decisions.

Without proper planning, valuable assets may need to be sold under unfavorable conditions.

Marc’s philosophy is simple:

Create liquidity without forcing asset sales.
