Mehran Rad
Investment Advisor Representative President
Mehran Rad is an Investment Advisor Representative dedicated to helping retirees and those nearing retirement navigate financial planning with clarity and confidence. With over 20 years in the financial services industry and a background in real estate investment, Mehran is known for his strategic, personalized approach to retirement income, tax minimization, investment management, and estate planning. A Fiduciary and Guilford College graduate, he holds the NASD Series 65 and multiple insurance licenses.

For nearly two decades, Carter has assisted top advisors in providing safe retirement solutions, bringing access to a network of industry professionals, and supporting their many clients.
His personal experience with the “average” households seeking to protect their savings has driven him to identify unmet needs in the financial industry. Carter noticed a gap between those with a solid retirement plan and those at risk of outliving their savings or having their legacy mismanaged.
To address this, he collaborated with leading experts to create the three E’s: Educate, Enlighten, and Empower. This led to the development of cloud-based Estate Planning software combined with his unique process, offering a much-needed solution.
Carter and his team now connect consumers with the necessary financial professionals and education through the eStatePlan™ Portfolio. This innovative solution helps people avoid costly legal fees using the OEPT (Outsourced Estate Planning Team) for comprehensive estate and legacy planning support.
Carter is also the ambassador of Legacy Planning and is leading the charge of The Living Legacy Project, which helps his network of independent advisors provide the necessary process to document their extensive lives. Mehran Rad is one such Financial Professional.

Ciara Lister, Esq.
Network Attorney
As a network attorney for eStatePlan™ Ciara Lister believes in three key pillars: planning, preparation, and prevention. A full-scholarship graduate of Ave Maria School of Law in Naples, Fla., Lister began her law career as a Commercial Insurance Litigator in Boca Raton. She began seeing clients and her close friends struggle with the negative effects of probate proceedings, from dwindling inheritances to families destroyed by battles over money. This motivated her to change her focus to Estate Planning so she could help people avoid these issues before it was too late, rather than perform legal triage when the damage to families and their legacies had already been done.
