Financial and Estate Strategies for the Large IRA
$25.00
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 tax 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.

The Bucket Plan – Segmenting Your Money Based on Purpose and Time Horizon
$25.00
The two biggest risks to a systematic withdrawal plan are inflation, and something known as “sequence-of-returns risk”. 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 spouse.

Heritage Planning – The Third Element to Multi-Generational Planning
$25.00
John will share the elements of Heritage Planning – those things that are needed to sustain family wealth and unity across generations. The first two elements of planning, Estate and Financial Planning, allow your clients to pass what they “own” to future generations. Heritage Planning allows them to pass “who they are” to future generations. Heritage Planning does not compete with Estate and Financial Planning – rather, it is the next element needed to prepare the family and get them working together to stay together for multiple generations.

Income for Life Model: NextPhase, Retirement Income Distribution Solutions
$25.00
The Income for Life Model® is an investment strategy with the objective of providing inflation-adjusted income for life. The strategy allocates assets in a manner that places a heavy emphasis on guaranteed streams of income that continue over long periods of time. This is extremely important because Americans are increasingly being forced to rely upon their own retirement savings to create the retirement income they will need. With longevity increasing and interest rates low, creating durable streams of retirement income can be challenging. The Income for Life Model® provides a sound foundation for creating that income.

What Matters?
$25.00
Traditionally, people, especially professionals, have limited any discussion of wealth to financial assets: investments, real estate, cash, and worldly possessions. But when asked what we value most in life the majority of people say: family, health, friends, values, skills, and relationships. We might even add our accumulated wisdom, education, life lessons, and our experiences in the school of hard knocks. Furthermore, when asked what the biggest investment we ever made in our lives was, people typically respond with the time, energy, love, and commitment they made in building their family. “What Matters” will introduce you to a more holistic view of Family Wealth. This discovery will change everything you’ve ever thought about estate planning.
