Forgemark Private Wealth
Forgemark LLC

Forge your Legacy.

One family of firms across real estate, tax, estate, and insurance — the right specialist for each, one name coordinating them all.

The name

Forge for how it’s built — by hand, under heat, made to hold. Mark for the people who put their name to the result.

Where the worlds meet

Real estate. Business. Legacy.

Most people fall through the cracks where those three collide — the real estate investor with no financial advisor, the advisor who’s never run a business, the owner who knows how to make money but not what to do with it. Forgemark works right where they meet — the right specialist for each, one name coordinating them all.

When life happens

The deal in your inbox

You’re at your kid’s game when the email lands — a property under contract, an answer due by morning, your money tied up in an IRA. Your advisor says don’t touch it. Your CPA says we’ll measure the damage at tax time. Your attorney says next week. A Forgemark client already had the funding lined up and the structure built to absorb it.You take the deal and watch your kid win the game.

What We Do

A family of firms, not a product list.

We don’t hand you a product. We know the terrain, the right specialist for each piece of it, and how the pieces fit — and we coordinate all of it under one name.

Real Estate

Holdings with a long horizon

Property is something you hold and tend — not something you flip.

  • Direct property interests and portfolio strategy
  • 1031 exchanges and DST transitions, coordinated end to end
  • Ownership structures that fit the asset and the family
Tax Strategy

Keep more of what you build

Set before year-end — not measured after it.

  • Year-round planning with CPAs, tax advisors, and tax attorneys
  • Entity and structure reviews as things change
  • The tax angle checked before the deal, not at filing
Estate & Legacy

Structure that holds up

Built for the generation after the one in the room.

  • Wills, trusts, and titling that match how you actually own things
  • Multi-generational transfer design with estate attorneys
  • Documents kept current — not just drafted once
Business & Succession

Run it like it will outlast you

The owner’s side of the table, kept ready.

  • Valuation-readiness before the offer ever arrives
  • Buy-sell, continuity, and exit groundwork
  • A quarterly rhythm that keeps it all current
Insurance & Asset Protection

Protection, built around your life

So a hard day never becomes a harder one.

  • Life, business, and personal coverage that tracks what you own
  • Cash-value strategies, structured well
  • Reviewed as life changes — not at renewal
The Network

The right specialist, when you need one

Expertise in. Complexity handled.

  • A vetted bench — CPAs, attorneys, and specialists
  • The introduction made for you, warm not cold
  • One coordinator across all of them
The Ledger

The offerings, in plain terms.

Every direction we can take a client — each one coordinated under the Forgemark name, with the right specialist on point.

When life happens

Can I sell?

It’s Sunday night. Eighty percent of your net worth is tied up in a business you can’t value, and the offer feels low — but you can’t say why. A Forgemark client doesn’t decide under pressure: the valuation, the tax model, and the buyer landscape were built before the offer arrived.The decision isn’t if you can — it’s if you want to.

When life happens

When one call becomes six

The property manager calls. By the time you land, one call is six — the entity, the taxes, the trust, the insurance, all tangled. Everyone’s doing their job; nobody’s doing yours. A Forgemark client’s affairs run like a business, coordinated every quarter — so the call triggers a response you already briefed.You call Forgemark. Your vacation continues.
