ONE FRAMEWORK. THREE CORE COMPONENTS.

The Merrick Spitters Asset Security Framework

Wealth security depends on more than what you own. It also depends on how assets are ordered, the role each one plays and whether ownership can continue through change.

Built from the combined work of Adrian C. Spitters and Peter J. Merrick, the Framework connects Owning Assets in Order of Asset Security™, The Five Pillars of Asset Security™ and The Five Pillars of Succession Security™.

Through PFC Wealth Solutions™, Adrian uses the Framework to help business owners, farmers, landowners, affluent retirees and their families identify structural gaps, coordinate independent specialists and prepare assets, businesses and family ownership for the next generation. This connects each decision to one complete family plan.

 

control • access • independence • continuity

Order what you own. Give every financial job a clear home.

Prepare ownership for succession.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF HOW WE HELP OUR CLIENTS

How We Help Clients

Most financial plans begin with one question: How much can your money earn?

That matters, but it is not the first question. The first question is: How secure is what you already own?

A strong balance sheet can hide risks. Too much wealth may depend on one market, institution, property, business, or form of ownership. Investments, tax planning, insurance, and estate arrangements may each look sound on their own. If they are not connected, gaps can remain hidden. A market correction, tax bill, business transition, family event, or cross-border change can expose them.

We bring decades of experience in wealth, estate, succession, and cross-border planning. We have learned that market value and financial security are not the same. Security begins by understanding what you own, how it is held, who controls it, when you can access it, and how it supports your family and purpose.

Owning Assets in Order of Asset Security™ introduces our five-pillar framework. It brings these questions into one coordinated family plan. Inside this complimentary guide, you will discover four tests every asset should pass: Control, Access, Independence, and Continuity. You will see how the five pillars work together. They cover physical gold and silver, private assets, professional management, tax planning, insurance, estate planning, succession planning, and cross-border planning.

You do not need more disconnected products or another sales pitch.

You need a clear view of what is strong, what may be exposed, and what deserves attention first.

THE MERRICK SPITTERS RESET REPORT™

The Educational Resource

Protect What You Have Built. Prepare What Comes Next.

Wealth is more than a portfolio. Its strength depends on how assets are owned, structured, protected and eventually transferred.

The Merrick Spitters Reset Report™ brings together independent research on asset security, ownership structure, succession, estate planning and intergenerational wealth transfer. Written for business owners, farmers, landowners, affluent retirees and their families, it examines the risks that can affect family wealth today and the decisions that may shape what reaches the next generation.

The goal is simple: to help you ask better questions, identify structural risks and make stronger decisions before pressure limits your choices.
