Educational
My how time passes. Doesn't
it seem like "just yesterday" that your son or daughter
took their first steps? With the costs of higher education
increasing at TWICE the average rate of inflation, every day that
passes costs you dearly in accumulating the funds that will be
necessary to send your children to college. Do the choices confuse
you? How does a "Unified Gift to Minors" account work?
What is this 529 plan? A little planning with us will go a long way
toward answering these and other questions.
Retirement
Proper planning can make the
difference between your ability to actually retire and enjoy life
and not being able to retire at all. A little time invested now can
save you from many sleepless nights in the future.
Estate
Would you like your kids to share in your good fortune from
years of hard work? Is there a charity or organization that you
wish you could do more for? Proper Estate Planning can help to
assure that those you hope to receive the remainder of your estate
will receive it without a huge tax bill. Could you use a tax
deduction now? How about a Charitable Remainder Trust? Do you plan on
gifting to children or grandchildren? Proper planning can assure
that your beneficiaries are taken care of.

Life Insurance
We offer Term
(temporary) and Whole Life or Universal Life (permanent) insurance.
With all of the choices that you've heard or read about, we can help
you clarify the benefits of the different types. With this
knowledge, you can then make the decision best for you and your
family or business.
Disability Income
Disability
Income is the protection of your single greatest asset, YOUR ABILITY
TO EARN AN INCOME. There are many different options and features to
customize a plan that fits YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS BEST!
Long Term Care
Statistics
show that as many as 40% of people age 65 will need some care in
their aging years. The national average annual cost of nursing home
care is $52,000, that figure is expected to rise to as much as
$190,000 in less than 30 years. During the prime working years, most
people would have a difficult time paying these housing costs!
Planning earlier in life can provide protection for unforeseen
accidents and save thousands of dollars in premium costs over
waiting until later in life. We deal with over a dozen different
Long-Term Care Insurance companies, which allows us to customize a
plan that fits your needs, budget and situation best.
