  • Planning

    Most Americans who are getting ready to retire today have the bulk of their savings in the form of various retirement plans. It is important to understand how those assets would pass to your loved ones upon your death. There are very intricate rules with respect to estate and income taxation of those assets on the death of the person who was the primary contributor to the plan. It may possible to minimize income tax exposure or to defer part of it if a spouse or others are your intended heirs but it has to be done following complex set of IRA-trust rules imposed by the government. We will work with you to make sure that your pension account custodians understand and properly process your requests for beneficiary designations. We will also work for you to ensure that you have certain vehicles ready to accept your plans after your death.

    Part of income and retirement planning is looking to the future to see what you can expect to receive once you leave the work force. For example, will you have medical insurance? Will you have disability insurance? Will you have long term care insurance? We will review your coverage and make recommendations based on your current status and your expectations.

  • When to Start Planning

    Ideally you should start planning for retirement as soon as you get your first full time job. This will allow you to put money away so that it can grow for many years. With compound interest, even modest retirement savings in your 20’s and 30’s can really add up to a significant nest egg when retirement comes around. If you haven’t started saving for retirement yet, let us help you to find the right amount to put away each paycheck, and where it should go to get you the best possible return on investment. When done properly, this type of planning will have only a small impact on your regular paycheck, but can make a huge difference in what you have available when retirement arrives.
