Helping You Live Well and Create a Powerful, Productive Posterity

Comprehensive Estate Planning and Safe Money Investment Strategies

ABOUT US

With headquarters in Gilbert, Arizona (Phoenix Metro), Estate Planning Specialists and its managing firm, Phillips Financial Services, LLC have clients in every state of the union with the overall goal of KEEPING YOUR WEALTH IN THE FAMILY while enjoying life to its fullest.

Phillips Financial Services had its actual beginning in 1972, when founder David Phillips first entered the world of finance. After receiving multiple recommendations from financial newsletter authors such as Mark Skousen, Richard Band, Adrian Day, Terry Savage, Tony Sagami, Dr. David Eifrig and Robert Carlson, the firm grew at an accelerated pace, requiring proper licensing in each state. It soon became evident that the majority of the newsletter subscribers were in dire need of estate planning guidance, so Estate Planning Specialists was established in 1988 to assist clients in maximizing their financial legacies.

Through the years, the firm has refined the planning process with their lauded proprietary Estate Planning Solutions Suite. In addition, they have added to their services the focus of providing “safe money” investments and income solutions so market turmoil and potential long term medical situations do not play a factor into shrinking one’s legacy.

David T. Phillips, Founder and CEO

David has been a highly recognized consumer advocate for life insurance, annuities and estate planning for over 44 years. He is the author of the bestselling books – Estate Planning Made Easy (fourth edition), The 10 Most Common Estate Planning Mistakes and How to Avoid Them, The IRA Required Minimum Distribution Leverage Strategy and his most recent bestseller, The Family Bank Strategy. David has been a featured speaker at a multitude of investment conferences and a frequent guest on national television including: CNN, Fox News, CNBC, Money Talks and Bloomberg.
