Tim Kip, President

Tim Kip founded Family Estate Advisors on a novel idea: assemble a group of successful families with similar values and ask them to help design a financial services firm to specifically address their unmet needs.

Family Estate Advisors is “you-centered”. Clients told us what they want and we responded.

  • Instead of being sold, we take time educate you with facts, ideas and tips.
  • With our support, you can make informed decisions about your financial life.
  • We can provide you with professional advice and long-term relationships.
  • We want to be your trusted advisors. Our goal is to not have conflicts of interest that can arise from proprietary product sales. We are working on your behalf on the problems specific to your situation and don’t offer boilerplate strategies.
  • We have the training, depth, and professional support to address your needs.
