Financial Planning

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.

Protection Portfolio

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.
