Estate Planning
By definition, estate planning is a process designed to help you manage and preserve your assets while you are alive, and to conserve and control their distribution after your death according to your goals and objectives. But what estate planning means to you specifically depends on who you are. Your age, health, wealth, lifestyle, life stage, goals, and many other factors determine your particular estate planning needs. You may have a small estate and may be concerned that only certain people receive particular things. Or, you may have significant assets that will transfer to the next generation or charitable causes. Whatever your needs, we can help you develop a cohesive plan that preserves your legacy.
Insurance Planning
Choosing the right Life Insurance policy usually depends on your future goals. Whether you wish to provide a tax free income for your beneficiaries, have funds for the payment of the final expenses or estate taxes, replace the income that is lost if you die, or provide a significant charitable contribution, we can help you chose the policy that will fit your needs at an affordable price.
Generally age and health are the most important factor in the premium you will pay. Although you can purchase a policy at any age, the younger you are the more affordable the policies will be. All life insurance policies are designed to pay a benefit when someone dies. The two most common types of life insurance are Term and Whole (or Permanent) policies.
Our experts can guide you through the different types of insurance policies available and help you chose the policy that will best fulfill your unique needs and goals.
Tax Planning
Major or minor tax acts seem to debut nearly every year, compounded by additional opinions from the IRS and rulings from the tax courts. So how do you navigate this complex maze of tax laws? More important, how do you best take advantage of changing laws in order to accomplish the dreams for you and your family? Effective tax planning is a long-term, year-round process, and cannot be executed in the waning days of December. Tax planning should ensure efficiency when handling all elements of a plan. Working with your CPA, we will help deploy various strategies such as:
- Defer your income
- Shift income to family members
- Deduction planning
- Investment tax planning
