Leaving Your Legacy

---

We understand that retirement isn't the end of your financial journey — it's one of the most important chapters. The decisions you make now about income, taxes, and your legacy can have a real impact on how comfortably and confidently you live. That's why we take the time to truly understand what matters most to you, building a plan that reflects your goals, your values, and the life you've worked hard to create.

One of the ways we make a meaningful difference for retirees is through our in-house CPA. Rather than sending you to a separate tax professional and hoping everyone stays on the same page, your financial plan and your tax strategy are handled together — by a team that's always in sync. For retirees, this kind of coordination matters enormously. Some of the areas where we help most include:

• Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) — Making sure you're taking the right amounts at the right time, while minimizing the tax impact on your overall income.
• Social Security timing — Helping you decide when to claim so you get the most out of what you've earned.
• Roth conversions — Evaluating whether converting traditional retirement funds makes sense for your tax situation now and in the future.
• Investment income and capital gains — Structuring your withdrawals and holdings to keep your tax burden as low as possible.
• Medicare and IRMAA surcharges — Monitoring your income levels to help you avoid unexpected premium increases.

Tax laws change, life changes, and your plan should evolve right along with them. Having a CPA in-house means you have a team that's paying attention on your behalf all year long — not just at tax time. We're here to help you navigate:

• Changes in tax law that could affect your retirement income or estate plan.
• Major life events like the loss of a spouse, helping a family member financially, or changes in your health and care needs.
• Legacy and estate planning — making sure your wishes are reflected in your plan and that the people you love are taken care of.
• Charitable giving strategies that align with your values and provide meaningful tax benefits.

At Generations Planning, your financial plan, your tax strategy, and your peace of mind all live under one roof. We're not just managing your money — we're walking alongside you, making sure every decision works together in your best interest. Because you've spent a lifetime building this — you deserve a team that treats it that way.
