Intelligence Services for Family Offices & Private Wealth

E3 Legacy Intel protects family offices and private wealth: household-staff and vendor vetting, principal digital-exposure monitoring, and insider-threat investigation, powered by a proprietary intelligence platform and delivered on an annual retainer. As licensed investigators (FL A-1400197), we give the office the investigative capability it does not have in-house, on call, all year. When the family is about to put capital into a deal or sign with a partner, we run a due diligence investigation on the people on the other side.

A family office manages the wealth expertly. What it usually cannot do alone is investigate the people around it and the threats aimed at it. That is the standing role we fill, quietly, year-round.

Family office wealth attracts risk

Every person with access to a principal, a nanny, an estate manager, a driver, a contractor, a vendor, is a point of trust and a point of risk. Add fraud, impersonation, extortion, and reputational threats aimed at the family, and the exposure is constant. A family office is built to steward capital, not to investigate people and threats. We are, and we do it as a standing part of the office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a family office intelligence retainer cover?
It covers the recurring risk work a family office cannot do alone: vetting household staff and vendors before they are hired, monitoring the principals' digital exposure and threats, investigating insider concerns, and providing on-call investigative support, all under one annual retainer with a dedicated team.
Why do family offices need investigative intelligence?
Wealth attracts risk: staff and vendors with access to the household, fraud and impersonation aimed at principals, extortion and reputational threats, and insiders who exploit trust. A family office manages money well but is rarely equipped to investigate people and threats. We are.
Do you vet household staff and vendors?
Yes. We investigate nannies, estate managers, drivers, personal assistants, contractors, and vendors before they are given access to the family, and we re-vet on a schedule, because a clean check at hire does not stay clean.
Can you monitor threats to the principals?
Yes. We continuously monitor the principals' and family's digital exposure, adverse mentions, impersonation, doxxing, and threats, and, unlike an alerting service, we can investigate and act on what we find.
How is the engagement structured?
As an annual retainer with a defined scope and a dedicated team, priced to the size and needs of the office, with the flexibility to escalate into full investigations when something serious surfaces.
