Answers to Retirement & Protection Questions


Five clear answers before you decide
  • Do we need a trust?

    Not always. We explain when a revocable trust helps and when beneficiary designations are enough.

  • How often should we update documents?

    Review after major life events and every few years to keep signatures, agents, and accounts current.

  • Can we protect assets if care is needed soon?

    Options shrink as care begins, but targeted moves may still help. We'll outline realistic expectations and timing.

  • What about taxes in retirement?

    Title choices, trust design, and distribution timing affect taxes. We coordinate with your CPA to keep filings consistent.

  • How do we keep adult children informed?

    Use clear health care directives and financial permissions so helpers know their role before an emergency.
