Are you confident your retirement savings, estate, and tax strategy are all working together so more of what you’ve built stays with the people you love?
Join us at Miramar Branch Library for an enlightening presentation that may help you better understand retirement income planning, tax-aware strategies, and estate planning, giving you a clearer picture of where you stand today and what you can do to help protect what you’ve built. We’ll discuss:
- How to build a coordinated retirement income plan designed around after-tax outcomes, not just account balances.
- Tax-aware withdrawal strategies and how timing decisions across account types can help reduce your overall tax burden.
- Understanding RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions) and planning ahead to help minimize their impact before they’re required.
- How Social Security, RMDs, and portfolio withdrawals interact, and how to sequence them to help preserve more of what you’ve built.
- Sequence of returns risk, why a market downturn early in retirement can have a lasting impact on your income plan, and what you can do about it.
- What’s changing in estate and legacy planning in 2026 and how it may affect your overall retirement strategy.
- Advantages and disadvantages of wills and trusts – and which approach may fit your situation.
- How probate works and strategies designed to help you avoid it altogether.
- Identifying the key legal documents needed to protect yourself and preserve your estate.
- Establishing a power of attorney and why it may be one of the most important steps you take.
- Preserving your assets against potential risks such as children’s debt, changing tax laws, divorce, and disability.
- Why putting property in your children’s names may be a costly mistake.
- Developing a plan to help cover long-term care or nursing home expenses without derailing your retirement income.
- Strategies to help ensure your assets pass to your loved ones efficiently – and with fewer surprises for your heirs.
- Aligning your beneficiary designations and account strategy with your broader legacy intentions.
- Leveraging dollars for planned charitable giving as part of a tax-aware estate strategy.
- And much more!
