Where will your wealth end up after you pass away? There are three possible beneficiaries:
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICES (IRS)
YOUR FAMILY
A CHARITY OR PRIVATE FOUNDATION
Estate planning and wealth preservation strategies can help ensure your finances benefit the people and organizations you want — not the IRS.
Higginbotham’s team has decades of experience in estate planning and wealth preservation, including working with high-net-worth clients. By making complex financial topics simple and easy to understand, our clients can feel confident and in control of their estate plan.
Estate taxation refers to the tax imposed on the transfer of a deceased person’s assets to their heirs or beneficiaries. This tax is calculated based on the value of the estate, which includes all property, investments and financial assets owned by the individual at the time of their death. Certain exemptions and deductions may apply, which can reduce the taxable amount. Understanding estate taxation is crucial for effective estate planning, as it can significantly impact the amount of wealth transferred to the next generation.
When estate taxes are due, many estates lack the liquidity to pay this tax. Liquidating income-producing assets like real estate is not cost-effective and can inhibit the future income flow and potential appreciation of the asset for future generations. For this reason, many of our clients prefer to keep their long-term income-producing assets in place to grow wealth, while simultaneously providing instant liquidity through life insurance.
Many individuals accumulate significant sums in pensions, profit sharing, 401(k) plans and IRAs. But, what happens if you don’t need these funds for retirement income purposes?
Our Wealth Preservation Plan (WPP™) is innovatively designed so that the ultimate beneficiaries of these assets can inherit up to five times their current value — even after taxes. Our team can help you and your advisors understand how the plan may be able to offer dramatic results for the beneficiaries of your tax qualified plans.
For high-net-worth clients, we can calculate the amount of capital or assets needed at an assumed retirement age, so they can live with the financial freedom they desire for the rest of their lives. After adjusting for inflation, accurate estimations of longevity and their rate of return on invested assets, we can calculate an accurate range for necessary retirement capital.
Using our Roadmap™ quantitative planning tool, we can calculate what we describe as “the client’s number” or their “core capital.” This is the amount of money required to fund a secure future based on our calculations and their estimations.
Assets greater than that “core capital” amount are what we call “legacy capital.” These assets are not likely to be needed for retirement income purposes. Our approach is to make these assets accessible, should they be needed during retirement, but “level up” the legacy capital assets at death to provide more for beneficiaries.
A great plan starts with a conversation. Let’s talk about what you need.
