Common Questions

Wealth Planning FAQ

What is an IUL and how does it create tax-free retirement income?

An Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy is permanent life insurance with a cash-value component that grows based on a stock market index, but with a 0% floor โ€” so your account never loses value in a down year, and gains are typically capped. In retirement, you can access that cash value through policy loans, which are generally tax-free, giving you an income stream on top of the death benefit protection.

Should I roll over my old 401(k), and into what?

It depends on your goals, but a 401(k) rollover into an IRA (traditional or Roth, via a Roth conversion) often gives you more investment options and lower fees than an old employer plan. On a retirement planning call, we'll look at your specific accounts, tax bracket, and timeline before recommending a rollover strategy โ€” there's no single right answer for every family.

What's included in a complete estate plan?

A full estate plan typically includes a revocable living trust (to avoid probate), a pour-over will, financial and healthcare powers of attorney, and beneficiary designations that are actually coordinated with the trust โ€” a surprisingly common gap even in DIY estate plans. We build these to also support asset protection and generational wealth transfer, not just paperwork for its own sake.

Is a 529 plan or an IUL better for college savings?

Both can work, and the right answer depends on your family's financial aid picture and flexibility needs. A 529 plan offers tax-free growth for education expenses but counts as a parental asset on the FAFSA and carries penalties if unused for education. An IUL isn't counted on the FAFSA at all, grows tax-free, and the cash value can be used for anything โ€” education, emergencies, or your own retirement โ€” but requires insurance qualification. We compare both side-by-side on your call.

How do I minimize estate taxes and avoid probate?

Probate avoidance usually comes down to retitling assets into a revocable living trust during your lifetime, so they transfer directly to heirs without court involvement. Estate tax minimization can involve gifting strategies, irrevocable trusts, and โ€” for larger estates โ€” dynasty trust structures that shelter assets across multiple generations. What's actually necessary depends heavily on the size of your estate and your state's laws.

What's the right Social Security claiming strategy for me?

Claiming Social Security before your full retirement age permanently reduces your monthly benefit, while delaying past it (up to age 70) increases it. The right claiming age depends on your health, other income sources, and whether you're married โ€” spousal and survivor benefit rules can meaningfully change the math. This is one of the most common topics we walk through on a retirement planning call.
