Risk & Insurance Deep Dive:
Analyze my current insurance portfolio for gaps, especially in liability (umbrella) and long-term care coverage.
Recommend optimal coverage levels for all policies to shield my assets from potential lawsuits or health events.
Sustainable Retirement Withdrawal Strategy:
Analyze my portfolio and recommend a safe withdrawal rate (SWR), considering inflation and market volatility (go beyond the 4% rule).
Outline a tax-efficient withdrawal sequence (which accounts to draw from first: taxable, traditional, or Roth).
Discuss the role of a "bond tent" or other strategies to mitigate sequence of returns risk.
Estate Planning & Legacy Blueprint:
Based on my net worth and goals, recommend the most appropriate estate planning vehicle (e.g., Will, Revocable Trust, Irrevocable Trust) and explain why.
Provide a checklist for optimizing all beneficiary designations on my retirement accounts and life insurance policies to avoid probate.
Suggest strategies for tax-efficient wealth transfer to the next generation or charities.
Asset Protection Structure:
Evaluate my current asset ownership structure and suggest potential improvements for creditor protection (e.g., titling of property, business structuring if applicable).
Integrated Action Checklist: Provide a prioritized checklist of action items, distinguishing between tasks I can do myself (e.g., update beneficiaries) and tasks requiring a professional (e.g., "Consult with an estate planning attorney to create a Revocable Trust").
