We believe ongoing relationships are key to accomplishing long-term financial goals.
Financial goals vary by individual, depending upon personal situations, family dynamics and life stages.

We act as your personal chief financial officer, providing guidance on all areas of your financial life.
In addition, we coordinate with your other professionals (CPAs, attorneys, insurance agents, etc.) to ensure your total financial strategy will position you to attain your life goals.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review can help you develop a financial plan that matches up with your goals for today and your future.

Investment Planning

How would your lifestyle change if you had a 30 to 50 percent gain in your investment portfolio?
Most people respond that they might spend or travel a little more or just feel more secure, however, nothing in their lives would dramatically change.
How would your lifestyle change if you had a 30 to 50 percent loss in your investment portfolio?
Most people would be devastated, have to move to a smaller home or drop a club membership. The loss would produce a dramatic change in their mindset and lifestyle.
The latter is the primary reason why families are far more concerned with protecting
what they have accumulated rather than taking extra risk for the chance of a higher rate of return.
Our philosophy is that you should take the “least amount of risk to reach your financial goals. ”
While it sounds simple, this practical advice is often ignored.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review can help you develop a financial plan that matches up with your goals for today and your future.

Asset Protection

An injury from someone negligently driving a car
A patient who sues a physician for malpractice
Someone who slips and falls on property and sues the owner

Other common creditors clients don’t think of as a typical creditor

The IRS. Every year, high-income clients pay taxes to this creditor.
The stock market.
You know this is the case if you had money invested from 2000 – 2002 when the stock market lost nearly 40 percent of its value and again when the stock market crashed between 2007 and March of 2009 when it lost 59 percent of its value.
Estate taxes.
Clients all worry about the estate taxes that will be paid upon their death. Few advisors truly know advanced estate planning and ways to mitigate estate taxes.
Long-term care (LTC) expenses.
The number one guaranteed creditor of clients over the age of 65 is LTC expenses (drug costs, home health care, nursing home, surgeries, etc.). It is vitally important for clients to be well-equipped to handle this nearly guaranteed expense.

Real Estate Planning

How will I be able to afford my next lifestyle choice?
How can I be sure I'll have enough money, or is it possible I could have even more money, to live on if I make a move?
Do I have too much risk in other investments and need to delay listing my home?
What tax issues or concerns should I consider before listing my home for sale?

Or if you own commercial or business property, ask

Are there strategies to lower or eliminate my capital gains tax when I sell?
Are there investment alternatives that can offer me a similar rate of return as my rental property without high risk?

IRA & 401(k) Rollovers

Leave the money where it is
Take the cash (and pay income taxes and perhaps a 10 percent federal penalty tax if you are younger than age 59 1/2)
Transfer the money to another employer plan (if the plan allows)
Roll the money over into an ira

Comment From Your Cpa Sounds

While most people think it’s a good idea to match contributions to the maximum in your employer-sponsored retirement plan or to contribute funds to a “tax-deferred” qualified retirement plan
many times, this is not the case. In fact, tax-deductible qualified retirement plans can be more tax-hostile than tax favorable.
The term “stretch IRA” has become a popular way to refer to an IRA (either traditional or Roth)
with provisions that make it easier to “stretch out” the time that funds can stay in your IRA after your death, even over several generations. It’s not a special IRA, and there’s nothing dramatic about this “stretch” language. Any IRA can include stretch provisions, but not all do. The possibilities of the stretch IRA include tax-deferred potential growth, retirement income and legacy planning, making this strategy ideal for many pre-retirees and retirees.
Roberts Wealth Management can help you determine if a rollover or stretch tactic is the right move for you.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review can help you develop a financial plan that matches up with your goals for today and your future.

Income Planning

Where will your retirement money come from?
If you’re like most people, qualified-retirement plans, Social Security, and personal savings and investments are expected to play a role. Once you have estimated the amount of money you may need for retirement, a sound approach involves taking a close look at your potential retirement-income sources.
Making sure your assets can generate the retirement income stream you need today and keep up with the rising cost of living that inflation pressures can exert requires expert planning.

Which income streams do you have control over?

Some, like Social Security and pensions, are automatic.
Others, like distributions from your retirement and investment accounts or annuities
require specific decisions as to when and how much you should take out.
Some of your accounts may allow you to take a guaranteed income stream that you can't outlive.

Income Plan concerns

Risk of your assets
Needs for liquidity in case of emergencies
Your peace of mind with the possible changes in your income needs
from changes in the cost of where you live, to changes in the cost of your health care.

Benefits of Income Plan

Rollover a 401(k), IRA or other retirement savings plan
Strategize your Social Security income and/or pensions
Create an income distribution plan from your savings and investments
Structure an income stream to last the duration of retirement
Reduce or eliminate taxes on your retirement income

Retirement Planning

Retirement planning is not just for the wealthy.
Traditional retirement plans move growth-seeking products to more conservative, fixed-income products as retirement nears. This may have worked fine back when retirement planning efforts had to encompass only an expected five to ten years in retirement.
All too often, retirees are approached by a stock broker, insurance salesmen, banker, or other non-fiduciary to assist them in their retirement.
These efforts typically boil down to a strategy to make the client money. The retirement plan, therefore, becomes a strategy to make as much money as possible. These so-called retirement plans typically fail to take into account the retiree’s financial goals, challenges and opportunities.
Each financial product has a place and a specific purpose where it may fit properly into someone's retirement planning
but without a complete review of your personal situation, income needs, tax situation, long-term care needs, and estate and charitable desires, no one can or should have an opinion on whether a specific product is right for you. It is the discovery of your true needs and desires that is the first step you should take, not the popularity of products that historically many people have made as their first step.
Retirement planning these days, however, must encompass a much broader timeframe as people are living longer.
Thanks to new prescription drugs and medical technology, it’s not unusual for someone retiring in their 60's to live to age 90 or longer. Your retirement planning efforts may need to account for your nest egg lasting potentially 25 to 30 years, or more.
One drawback to a longer life is the greater possibility of outliving your savings
creating all the more reason for proper retirement planning, designed to last a longer lifetime.
Retirement planning today should account for the possibility of a significant loss in the years just prior to and/or just after you retire
which could have a damaging impact on the level of income you receive over the course of your life. Retirement planning efforts are typically less concerned with a loss occurring earlier in life, as there is the chance that you have more time to recover (versus a significant loss occurring later in retirement). Why? Simply because a smaller pool of assets is left to sustain you throughout your retirement years.
Roberts Wealth Management can help you design a retirement plan with sustainable income
incorporating insurance and annuity vehicles to create opportunities for long-term growth as well as guarantee income throughout your retirement.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review is a great way of helping you to determine if your current strategies match up with your plans for today and for your future.

Social Security: Find Your Best Filing Strategy

For most households, there's no retirement resource more important than Social Security.
Many people believe that once they hit age 62, they should immediately begin receiving social security benefits. Others have been advised to wait as long as possible before drawing distributions.
Most people are eligible to elect Social Security at any time between age 62 and 70.
However, most people simply elect Social Security at whatever age they decide to retire, not the age when it will give them the maximum lifetime benefit.
This has become an even more difficult situation given the recent turbulent market conditions, which may have damaged other retirement savings.
As you may have guessed, there is no one right answer. There is, however, a right answer for you.
Making smart decisions about when to file for benefits can make a difference of thousands of dollars during your lifetime
especially for married couples, who, can take advantage of the program's valuable spousal and survivor benefits. That makes it all the more important for couples to leverage the benefits of the higher earner to benefit the surviving spouse, with strategies such as file-and-suspend.
Roberts Wealth Management has helped many clients with understanding the options on Social Security Strategies.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review is a great way to help you find out more about the Social Security Strategies that can benefit you and your heirs best...because you and your family deserve better.

About Social Security

How much will my retirement benefit be?
What is the best age to start drawing my benefits and how?
Will earnings from a part-time job affect my benefit?
How will those benefits be taxed?
What are the best strategies if I am married?
Should I consider a strategy called "file and suspend?"
How does Social Security income effect my other retirement assets?

Tax and Estate Planning

Not all dividends are taxed at the new lower rates. Do you know which assets qualify for the new rule?
How do the new lower capital gains rates affect you?
Will you have phantom income that you need to offset by adjusting your investment portfolio now?
Is there a way to lower your Social Security taxation?
Is your IRA or qualified plan being penalized and you aren't even aware of it?
Why have America's wealthiest investors removed their children's names as beneficiaries on their annuity contracts?

We can also provide advice to help you

Reduce your capital gains taxes and estate taxes
Stop unwanted required minimum distributions (rmds) while increasing the value of your qualified plan and passing it on to your beneficiaries in both an income tax and estate tax efficient manner
Remove dollars out of your business while reducing your business income tax
Determine the most tax- and cost-effective way to pass a business on to family members and/or the management teams
where the founder receives fair market value for their stock and family members or the management team receive funding needed to make this business purchase.

These questions should be discussed now, as waiting until next year means potentially paying too much tax this year.

Nine in 10 will NOT have a family limited partnership
Seven in eight will NOT have an irrevocable life insurance trust

Other Info of Estate Planning

Estate planning allows you to make your personal intentions known so your loved ones don’t have to be burdened with making difficult decisions in critical situations.
Estate planning will also enable you to save as much as possible on taxes
court costs and attorneys’ fees, while guaranteeing that your property will go to the people you want, in the way you want and when you want. Most importantly, estate planning provides you with peace of mind that your loved ones can celebrate your life without being saddled with unnecessary financial confusion.
A little planning could go a long way to prevent the government from depleting your estate or your beneficiaries from disagreeing over how your estate is distributed.
Business owners too often have business
assets tied up in the probate process and survivor management may not have access to needed cash to keep the business running or the ability to pledge assets for cash flow loans.
Wills and trusts may only address specific issues and need to be reviewed and updated as your desires and situation change or as laws change that may impact your future plans.
Roberts Wealth Management’s experienced team will help preserve the assets you have worked hard over the years to build and create the legacy you’ve earned
because you and your family deserve better.
We will work with you and your existing attorney or recommend a qualified estate planning attorney or tax specialist that is experienced in these matters.
We are able to review any wills and trusts you already have in place. Then we will work with you to develop an individualized estate plan and help you implement it.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review is an effective way of helping you find out more about estate planning that can benefit you and your heirs.

Trusts: will help to avoid probate and manage your estate both while living and after death.
Also, trusts create privacy that enables your estate to not become public knowledge.
The Proper Insurance: How much? What type? How should it be titled?
Stretch Provisions: For your IRA, these can be multigenerational.
Tax Planning: to reduce estate and gift taxes, as well as fees associated with an estate transition

Tax Deferred Growth

Millions of Americans are putting their money in all forms of IRAs, annuities and employer
sponsored retirement plans, both qualified and non-qualified.
The tax deferral that these plans and accounts offer is hard to beat in many cases
and the Roth IRA and Roth 401(k) plans that are now available can be particularly effective in sheltering after-tax income. However, there are times when the tax from retirement-plan distributions can be greater than the tax that was realized from unsheltered investments.
The best answer to each of these questions for any individual retiree depends on an array of factors unique to their situation.
Roth accounts shield your earnings from immediate taxation and the earnings can even be tax-free if certain requirements are satisfied.
An annuity can provide you with a tax-deferred way of saving for your retirement.
Once you’ve retired, an annuity can provide a guaranteed stream of income for as long as you live. It’s like getting a paycheck for the rest of your life; and it can help you maximize your income throughout retirement.
Unlike most investments, an increase in the value of an annuity from interest is not currently taxable.
Generally, annuity funds are allowed to grow tax-deferred until they're distributed, at which time the owner will pay ordinary income tax on all gains.
IRA accounts have become one of the largest types of assets inherited by beneficiaries.
If you don’t anticipate needing your IRA money in retirement, you may wish to consider a planning strategy to reduce taxes and increase the payout your beneficiaries will receive upon your death.
A Roth IRA is generally funded using after-tax dollars.
These after-tax contributions and any earnings growth are exempt from tax upon distribution if the withdrawals are made at least five years after the account is established and after the owner is over age 59½. Original contributions made to the Roth IRA can be removed at any time without penalty. Most other retirement savings plans, such as a Traditional IRA, are funded with pre-tax dollars. These accounts grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals are taxed at the taxpayer’s ordinary income tax rates at the time of distribution.
Roberts Wealth Management will help you assess your various alternatives for tax
deferred investments and recommend options to provide smart strategies for future growth ... because you and your family deserve better.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review will help you find out more about what options for tax-deferred growth will be best for you and your family.

Charitable Planning

Setting up a charitable giving program is similar to buying life insurance.
If you use the wrong advisor, the chances are significant you will be setting up a plan that is in your advisor’s best interest instead of doing what is best for you and the charity you intend to benefit.
Direct gifts are only one way of helping your favorite charities.
Many other alternatives are available. Some allow you to maintain control of your assets and still avoid future tax problems that might have occurred without the charitable planning.
If you have significant qualified or non-qualified type assets like IRAs, SEPs, 401(k)s or annuities
as well as capital gains in stocks or business interests, you may be creating significant future tax problems for you and your heirs.
Discovering these problems today gives you the time to plan properly.
You may be able to potentially avoid them entirely and significantly enhance the future for yourself, your heirs or your favorite charity.
Our simple, FREE, no obligation 3-Step Review is an effective way of helping you find out more about how charitable planning can benefit you, your heirs, and those in your local community.

Characteristics

Life Insurance Planning

Today’s life insurance policies can be a valuable protective tool with respect to retirement planning, business planning and estate planning.
As the stages of your life change, so will your life insurance needs.
Having your existing life insurance policy reviewed is crucial for those in or approaching retirement, as your current life insurance policy may be outdated and/or lacking some valuable living benefits.
Second-to-die policies allow the executor to handle the estate transition smoothly without having to sell assets at a reduced value due to timing.
Having an insurance policy will not only supplement any income loss that may interfere with your family’s current quality of life
it will also pay for any lingering debts and medical bills that could contribute to the financial burden on your family at the time of your death.
Roberts Wealth Management will review your existing life insurance policies and work with you to develop insurance strategies that meet your family’s objectives
because you and your family deserve better.
Our simple, FREE
no obligation 3-Step Review is an effective way of helping you find out more about how charitable planning can benefit you, your heirs, and those in your local community.

Types Of Policies

Term insurance generally provides coverage for a specified period of time and pays out a specified amount of coverage to your beneficiary only if you die within that time period
You pay the same amount of premium from the first day of the policy until the term ends.
Permanent insurance, on the other hand, does not need to be renewed.
A permanent insurance policy will stay permanently in effect for the rest of your life so long as premiums continue to be paid.

Life insurance products and strategies have evolved to offer

Long-term care protection, such as assisted living and in-home healthcare expenses
Strong potential to grow the cash value of your policy
Policies that act as savings accounts, which allow funds to be withdrawn or borrowed while still retaining the insured value
An important business planning tool
designed to protect your business in the event of the death or disability of a key person whose loss could potentially cause the business financial hardship.
Provide tax-deductible life insurance premiums for the corporation
Planned donations to your favorite charities or your local church in your name at the time of your death
Tax-free source of funds to pay for taxes and debts due on death.

Strategies for Business Owners

Owning your own business can be both challenging and rewarding.
One common characteristic of being a small business owner is that most of your time is spent on the business. This often means that some important personal financial planning for the owner/executive is often overlooked. Many of these overlooked areas pose significant threats to the survival of the business and the people reliant upon it.
Our complimentary consultation will serve as a Q&A session so we can assess your current position as well as start to formulate
a set of resolutions to the challenges you face, whether those challenges are known or unknown at the time of initial consultation.
