Insurance

Protecting yourself, your loved ones, your home or your business against unexpected events is a fundamental aspect of wealth planning. Closing the gap on potential risks can be tricky without a comprehensive plan and process that seeks to methodically evaluate all potential risk factors. That’s why risk analysis is an integral part of our ongoing process.

Life Insurance

Life insurance products offer a spectrum of death benefit protection, spousal coverage and cash value accumulation features for a variety of needs. Life insurance is also used as an important estate planning tool, helping to ensure your beneficiaries and heirs are not saddled with an undue estate tax burden.

Long-Term Care Insurance

Long-term care insurance can help manage healthcare costs and reduce the impact of inflation, while ensuring your healthcare needs, and those of loved ones, are covered well into the future.

Disability Insurance

For many of us, the ability to work and generate income is our most valuable asset. Protecting it is paramount to pursuing your short- and long-term financial goals. Disability insurance helps guard your income and lifestyle from unexpected interruptions during your working years. Adequate disability coverage can ease the burden of lost income or wages while you recover from an accident or illness. It can also help to prevent the depletion of savings or being forced to sell investments at an inopportune time to raise cash for living expenses.

 

 

Education Planning

Paying for a child or grandchild’s education costs is a noble goal. Whether you’re paying tuition costs now or saving for future education costs, it’s important to determine if your education strategy is compatible with pursuing your retirement income and related financial objectives. Tax considerations and retirement income needs must be carefully weighed and evaluated before choosing a specific strategy. It’s important to remember that while education expenses can be funded through borrowing, retirement expenses cannot.

 

Estate Planning

Preserving wealth from one generation to the next can be complex and time-consuming.

Guidance from a competent, experienced advisor can go a long way toward helping make sure your financial success is shared with your family, friends and the charitable organizations you designate, according to your wishes.
