A well-engineered estate conservation plan can help minimize tax liability and ensure that loved ones are protected. We will work with you and your advisors to assess the impact of state and federal taxes on your estate and suggest strategies to help minimize those taxes while meeting your family’s needs.
There are numerous financial strategies and retirement income strategies that can help you accumulate assets for the future, protect your business and personal assets from liabilities, and safeguard asset transfer to children and grandchildren. We can help you figure out what the right course of action is for your specific situation and objectives.
Charitable giving allows you to support the organizations and causes that matter to you, while often providing immediate income streams and reducing your tax burden. Numerous charitable giving strategies exist, and we can help you design and execute a charitable giving strategy that is in alignment with your personal and philanthropic goals.
To execute a sound retirement strategy, asset and income protection are a must. Designing a strategy that accounts for costs for extended periods of care and disability can help create the necessary balance in a portfolio to ensure stability and protection of assets.
When you leave a job or retire, you have a decision to make regarding your 401(k) money. While leaving those assets in the former employer's plan is an option, a rollover can be a consideration. Working with your tax advisor, we can help you determine the right course of action for you. This may include: leaving the funds in your existing plan, if permitted, rolling them into your new employer's plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, rolling them over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or taking a cash distribution. Each choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on your specific needs, personal circumstances and the retirement plans, such as the desired investment options and services, applicable fees, expenses, and withdrawal options, as well as the required minimum distributions (RMDs) and tax treatment of the applicable options.
We do not offer tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor regarding your personal situation.
