Women and Retirement

Welcome to this session focused on what women need to know to achieve a successful retirement.

Women are diverse – a huge benefit we have today is the ability to make different choices – to work in or out of the home, to marry, divorce or choose not to marry. And women may have saved and grown wealth differently – built it as individuals or with a partner, or perhaps inherited it. Our goal is to give you 2-3 key takeaways to think about, discuss with a spouse or partner, and/or to discuss with a financial advisor

Estate Planning Strategies Using Life Insurance

Clients who want to efficiently transfer wealth to heirs may want to consider gifting now to family members and/or causes they're passionate about. By gifting assets using their annual or lifetime gift exclusions to a properly structured trust, clients can remove assets from their taxable estate. And when a life insurance policy on the grantor's life is purchased within the trust, the beneficiaries benefit from the leverage provided by life insurance and receive even more.

The current higher lifetime gift and estate tax exemption ($13.61MM for 2024) is set to revert back to $5 million (adjusted for inflation) at the end of 2025.

Join us for a call to go over these strategies and learn about Estate Planning options out there for you to consider. Please consult your estate planning attorney for any specific questions you have on this topic. Call or email me for the link to RSVP.
