Michael Smith

Adams Brown Trust Solutions, Managing Director

How I help . . .

I help individuals and families make thoughtful decisions around how their assets are titled and structured.

Through proactive planning, I’ve helped clients take advantage of strategies like the step-up in basis at the first spouse’s passing—saving surviving spouses thousands in capital gains taxes and providing clarity, confidence and peace of mind during important life transitions.

Q&A with Mike

What does above+beyond mean to you?

Going the extra step to ensure my clients’ needs are fully understood and their goals are met, sometimes before they even realize they need support.

What does being a strategic ally mean to you?

It means treating those I serve with the same care and responsibility I would give my own family, my parents, siblings and children, always acting in their best interest.

What makes you unique?

I take the time to put myself in my clients’ shoes, so I can understand their perspective and provide guidance that truly fits their situation.

What is your favorite restaurant and why?

Airport Steakhouse, especially the Thursday noon rib buffet. It’s a local favorite that never disappoints.

What are you most proud of and why?

Being the fifth-generation owner and operator of S&S Farms. It carries a deep sense of responsibility to honor those who came before me and to steward the future for generations to come.
