Description
Coordinating your financial plan with your estate plan is important to a successful and comfortable retirement.Many clients who are entering retirement either have a very outdated estate plan or no estate plan at all. When considering basic or advanced estate planning, most advisors and clients think of only estate taxes. Given the current estate tax exemption, estate taxes are a remote problem for most clients however, planning for an estate is a complex process that should take into account, among other things, estate taxes, gifting, income tax planning, assets protection and the clients’ family situation, regardless of wealth. The financial planning process is an essential part of estate planning. Integrated financial and estate planning can help the client navigate various estaterelated decisions and wade through the myriad of planning options available to them and their families. Ultimately, financial planning helps provide the client with clarity around assets available for retirement, the impact of the estaterelated decisions on the clients’ ability to successfully retire, and the probability of successful family outcomes.
