Citadel Law Firm Expands Services with Launch of Vivere Wealth Management: Integrated Estate and Financial Planning in Arizona

Chandler, AZ – October 2025 — Citadel Law Firm PLLC, a leading estate planning and elder law firm based in Chandler, Arizona, with extensive experience in estate planning and wealth management, proudly announces an exciting expansion of services with the launch of Vivere Wealth Management LLC, a registered investment adviser offering personalized financial planning and investment management.

This partnership unites two critical aspects of financial well-being—estate planning and financial planning—under one trusted umbrella, ensuring Arizona families receive comprehensive guidance for every stage of life.

A well structured estate plan coordinated with financial security, wealth preservation, and financial stability can help bring a brighter future to your family members.

A Unified Approach to Wealth and Legacy in Arizona

For years, Citadel Law Firm PLLC has helped Arizona families protect and transfer wealth through customized estate plans. Now, with Vivere Wealth Management, clients can integrate their legal and financial goals for a truly holistic planning experience. This unified approach helps clients build and preserve generational wealth, ensuring their assets benefit not only themselves but also future generations. A comprehensive estate planning including wealth management services is a must for future generations.

“Estate planning and financial planning work best when they’re done together,” said David Gerszewski, Attorney and Investment Adviser Representative. “By aligning a family’s legal strategy with its financial goals, we help our clients preserve what they’ve built—and give them confidence that their legacy will endure.” Creating a lasting legacy requires strategic planning that safeguards assets and supports beneficiaries for years to come. This approach also helps clients plan for their financial futures, preparing for changing market conditions and long-term wealth management.

Vivere Wealth Management LLC, headquartered in Chandler, AZ, is registered as an Arizona-based investment adviser (CRD #284152). The firm offers fiduciary financial advice, meaning every investment recommendation is made in the client’s best interest.

Investment and Planning Services Offered together

Through Vivere Wealth Management, Arizona clients can now access a broad range of personalized financial services, including:

  • Comprehensive Financial Planning – Custom strategies that coordinate investments, taxes, and estate objectives.
  • Retirement Planning – Guidance to ensure financial stability and sustainable income during retirement.
  • Investment Management – Evidence-based portfolio construction built on risk tolerance and long-term goals, providing access to diverse investment opportunities for long-term financial growth.
  • Insurance and Risk Management – Analysis of life and disability insurance as part of a broader wealth protection plan, including using life insurance as a strategic tool for blended families to ensure smooth asset transfer.
  • Tax-Efficient Wealth Transfer – Coordination with Citadel Law’s estate planning team to minimize estate and income taxes. Our goal is to reduce the tax burden as part of our estate planning services and financial planning process. We make tax planning part of the process.

By combining these services, Citadel Law Firm and Vivere Wealth Management provide clients with a single, unified strategy to protect, grow, and transfer wealth. Our financial advisors are here to help you create a stable financial future for your family circumstances.

Why Combine Estate Planning and Financial Planning in Arizona?

Many Arizona families create estate plans to protect their assets but overlook how investment and tax strategies affect those same goals. Similarly, financial advisers often focus on returns without considering how assets are titled or distributed in a will or trust. Addressing estate planning matters is essential for comprehensive wealth management, as it ensures that all aspects of asset protection, tax savings, and legal considerations are coordinated.

By integrating both, Citadel Law Firm PLLC and Vivere Wealth Management LLC help clients achieve:

  1. Simplified Decision-Making – One coordinated team managing both legal and financial aspects.
  2. Fewer Conflicts and Mistakes – Ensuring documents, accounts, and designations align perfectly, and that the correct beneficiaries are designated in all estate documents.
  3. Long-Term Continuity – A plan that evolves as life, family, and financial circumstances change, while minimizing tax liability through coordinated planning.

It is also important to understand and comply with all legal requirements when updating estate plans to ensure changes are valid and properly documented.

The Fiduciary Difference

As a fiduciary investment adviser, Vivere Wealth Management is legally obligated to put clients’ interests first—always. The firm’s disciplined approach to investment management emphasizes transparency, diversification, and long-term consistency.

“Our clients trust Citadel Law Firm because we treat them like family,” said Gerszewski. “Vivere Wealth Management brings that same mindset to financial planning. Our name—Vivere, which means ‘to live’—reflects our belief that smart planning allows people to live more fully, both now and in the future.”
