OUR TEAM

Built From Experience. Guided by Family Values.

Legacy Wealth Structures was created by founders who experienced the challenges of wealth protection firsthand, and then dedicated themselves to building a better, family-focused solution that truly works.

Meet Our Founders

Jake Frugé Jr. - Founder & Family Legacy Advocate

Jake's story is one of transformation and purpose. His journey didn't begin with privilege—by age 21, he had attended 19 schools and worked 17 jobs before finding his calling through military service and faith.

After joining the U.S. Army and dedicating his life to Christ, Jake discovered his entrepreneurial gift. By 24, he had broken company records in financial services, built and successfully exited a seven-figure agency, and launched JFJ Holdings—which today supports 30+ companies across multiple industries.

But success brought new challenges. As Jake's businesses grew, so did his tax concerns and the need to protect what he had built for his family's future.

After investing in a trust structure that proved inadequate—a costly $300,000 lesson he describes as "a car with no keys"—Jake made a commitment: No other family should face these challenges alone.

Together with Adam, he co-founded Legacy Wealth Structures to create the comprehensive, family-focused solution he wished he'd had from the beginning.

Adam Ausloos - Founder, Architect & Legacy Wealth Strategist

Adam brings over a decade of specialized experience in family legacy planning, having learned from pioneers in the trust and estate planning field. His expertise became invaluable when regulatory changes in 2023 left many families with outdated or non-compliant structures.

Adam's mission became clear: Design a stronger, more resilient framework that would protect families for generations.

Working with leading tax attorneys and compliance experts, Adam spent hundreds of hours and invested significantly in legal reviews to develop the comprehensive wealth protection structure that forms the foundation of Legacy Wealth Structures today.

His dedication to getting it right means your family benefits from a thoroughly researched, professionally reviewed structure designed to withstand the test of time.

A Mission Bigger Than Business

Jake and Adam didn't just create a product. They created what they wish they had at the start:

A structure backed by law, compliance, and licensed professionals.
A platform that provides ongoing support, not just paperwork.
A legacy solution that protects families for generations.
