It’s very likely to spend 30 years or more living in retirement without earned income. We create a customized retirement income plan, encompassing all sources of income, for each one of our clients and no two plans are exactly alike. Let us get to work on a plan for you. |
Asset Protection
read more
Retirement doesn’t mean that it’s time to stop growing. Same holds true for your money. It should mean, however, that it’s time to stop taking unnecessary risk. A 50% loss of your retirement account means you have to double your money just to be whole again. What if you experience additional losses in the process of trying to get back to even or are drawing income from this account? The impact could be devastating. We specialize in helping retirees protect their retirement assets while continuing to move forward. |

Qualified Plan Rollovers

Changing jobs and retiring are two transition times in our lives that can be stressful. Fortunately, we work with people every day who are in the same situation and looking to take control of an employer-sponsored plan or just need help transferring the money to another employer plan. We make a seemingly daunting task easy and are happy to help you with your qualified plan questions and needs. Here are four things you can do with the money in your employer sponsored retirement plan: -Leave the money where it is -Take the cash (and pay taxes, plus a 10% tax penalty if you are younger than age 59 ½) -Transfer the money to another employer-sponsored plan (if the plan allows) -Roll the money over to a self-directed IRA Let us help you determine if a rollover is the right move for you! |
Family Legacy Planning
read more
Many of our clients want to leave a legacy for their children and grandchildren and are shocked to learn how easy it is to double, even triple their inheritance – TAX-FREE AND GUARANTEED! We also work with our clients and help them embrace their own mortality and be prepared for the loss of a spouse and the income burdens this can often create. |
Extended Care Solutions
read more
Long-term care/extended care costs have gone up substantially in the last 10 years. Unfortunately, the statistics are not in our favor, a plan to address these costs should be included in every retirement strategy. The good news is we work with hybrid insurance plans that leverage your dollar in case you need it for extended care, but remain 100% accessible for withdrawal if you don’t. |
College Planning

We locate numerous scholarship sources as well as assist with deciphering school’s financial aid award packages and work with you throughout the full four year process including helping you with important forms such as FAFSA. In addition, we enforce methods to minimize your expected family contribution and assist in qualifying for the maximum amount of aid permitted by law.
