When planning for retirement, the primary focus for most of our clients is to determine how much income they will need to maintain their style of living. And if they are really on top of it, they may have created a trust to maintain control of their assets at incapacity or after death. Too often, however, our clients do not discuss or plan for the probable fact that at least one spouse is going to need long-term care. How will they pay for it and not leave the well-spouse impoverished? Join Rich and Scott as they do a deep dive into several payment options you might not have realized were options at all!

Years ago, helping clients navigate senior care wasn’t so complicated. Today, there are well over 1000 facilities and in-home care providers in San Diego alone – making the choices overwhelming. Family caregivers often lack information or resources necessary to coordinate care, thus looking to healthcare providers and estate planning professionals for guidance. Not all care – or budgets – are created equal. Jatana and Scott will break it down in a way that will allow you to provide accurate information and relevant resources for each of your family caregiver clientele.

The two biggest risks to a systematic withdrawal plan are inflation, and something known as “sequence-of-return risks”. Sequence-of-returns risk is the risk of receiving lower or negative returns early in a period when withdrawals are made from an individual’s underlying investments. The order or sequence of investment returns is a primary concern for retirees who are living off the income and capital of their investments.
Another misconception we see is people think that legacy planning is “just for the kids.” However, legacy planning is actually MOST important for the surviving spouse. Going from married to single tax brackets, the standard deduction is cut in half, marginal brackets shrink, and overall taxes go up dramatically. Added to which, losing one of the two Social Security payments and potential pensions, income is almost always reduced as well. So taxes go up and income goes down for a surviving purpose.

Do you know what kills more large IRA accounts than anything else? – Admiration. Admiration kills large IRA accounts because the owner, and even the financial advisor who helped them grow the account, fail to plan for the ultimate income and potential estate taxes due on the balance. Instead, they get caught up in growing the account to the largest possible balance, admiring each statement and deriving great satisfaction from their savings and investment success. Come and learn how to leverage an IRA into a legacy asset that supports not only the owner and their spouse, but also several generations of beneficiaries.
