What is Legacy Planning?
Legacy planning is about more than just passing on wealth—it's about leaving a meaningful impact for future generations. Whether through financial assets, values, or philanthropic efforts, a legacy plan works hand-in-hand with your retirement goals.
Why Combine Legacy and Retirement Planning?
- Efficient Use of Resources: Aligning both plans ensures your finances work towards supporting your life now and securing your legacy later.
- Tax Benefits: Proper planning can reduce estate taxes and maximize the value of assets passed on to heirs.
- Peace of Mind: A comprehensive plan reduces uncertainty for you and your loved ones.
Steps to Building a Legacy Plan
To build an effective legacy plan, consider the following steps:
- Draft a Will: Clearly outline how your assets should be distributed.
- Establish Trusts: Trusts provide a structured way to manage and distribute wealth.
- Designate Beneficiaries: Ensure your retirement accounts and insurance policies have up-to-date beneficiaries.
- Document Your Values: Write a personal letter or create a charitable foundation to reflect your beliefs.
