What Should Be on my 2015 Financial and Estate Planning Checklist?

January 13, 2015

It’s the most popular time of year for people to be setting goals, so it’s in your best interest to cash in on this extra motivation and set some financial resolutions for the new year. Here are a few tips to make sure you’ve considered your plans and made any necessary changes. ggg

Evaluate Retirement Plans

Take a look over what you’ve been able to accumulate over the previous year: are you on target for your savings goal? Is it possible there are other strategies that could help to maximize your savings? Be aware of how much you may be able to contribute to IRAs and other retirement accounts.

Review Insurance Policies

Especially if you’ve had any major life changes over the past year, it’s a good opportunity to review insurance policies and determine whether beneficiaries need to be changed. If your income or needs have changed, evaluate whether those changes can be incorporated into your existing policies. If term life insurance policies are nearing their end, it’s a good time to shop around for new protection. Never let an old policy lapse before a new one is in place.

Capitalize on these planning opportunities by reaching out to our office for a review of your existing plans. Schedule your appointment today at info@lawesq.net.
