Take the First Step

Equal doesn't always mean fair.

Especially when it comes to inheritance.

Consider two children receiving the same dollar amountβ€”but one receives a Roth IRA and another receives a Traditional IRA.

Or one child spent years helping care for a parent while another didn't.

Or one received substantial financial help years earlier.

Estate planning can involve much more than dividing everything by the same percentage.

It can also mean considering:

βœ”οΈ The assets being inherited
βœ”οΈ Taxes
βœ”οΈ Previous financial assistance
βœ”οΈ Caregiving
βœ”οΈ Beneficiary designations
βœ”οΈ Individual circumstances
βœ”οΈ Communication

πŸ’¬ Sometimes explaining why you made a decision can be just as important as the decision itself.

⏳ Retired...but not taking Social Security or RMDs yet?

Pay attention to this window.

For some retirees, taxable income temporarily drops after work ends and before other retirement income begins.

That may create an opportunity to evaluate:

βœ”οΈ Roth conversions
βœ”οΈ Retirement withdrawals
βœ”οΈ Social Security timing
βœ”οΈ Future RMDs
βœ”οΈ Tax diversification

But a Roth conversion isn't automatically the right answer.

The goal isn't just lowering taxes today.

It's understanding how today's decisions may affect your taxes throughout retirement.

πŸ“ Having a trust and funding a trust are two different things.

You can sign the documents...

Put them safely in a binder...

And still have work left to do.

Depending on your estate plan, you may need to coordinate:

🏠 Real estate
🏦 Bank accounts
πŸ“ˆ Brokerage accounts
πŸ’Ό Business interests
πŸ“‹ Beneficiaries
πŸ–ΌοΈ Personal property

And as your financial life changes, your estate plan may need another look.

A trust is a plan. Funding helps put that plan into action.

Our newest blog explains what families should know.
