Planning to Preserve Your Assets

• Leaving something behind for a surviving spouse, family members, and other loved ones is a difficult and important aspect of preparing your assets as you age or your health deteriorates. The hardships that follow a loved one passing or entering assisted living shouldn’t include financial issues that could have been addressed and/or eliminated early on.
• We work to protect families from the financial hardships that come with the aging and passing of loved ones. Assets can deteriorate with the burden of healthcare and assistance over time. Contact us to discuss how we can help you now.

Retirement Planning

• 401(k)s and IRAs are two of the most common modes of saving for retirement and should be monitored and tracked when planning for your future.
• If you’re looking for a tax benefit as you save for retirement, you will need to work with banks or brokerage firms. The IRS requires that you put tax-qualified retirement savings in the hands of an approved custodian, and we can help you find that custodian.
• Insurance companies offer products that can help protect you against loss in the event of unforeseen circumstances or illness.
