Annuity Strategies
Incorporating an annuity into your estate plan might make sense for several reasons:
- Guaranteed income for life
- Asset diversification during turbulent market
- Tax efficiency
- Long-Term Care planning
Annuity Review
An annuity contract purchased years ago from another financial professional may no longer be suitable for your investment objectives. An annuity review can be highly beneficial for you because it enables you to assess various factors, including:
- Changes to current and future goals
- Attractive benefits and features of newer products
- Income options and guarantees
- Cost efficiency and performance

The annual cost of assisted living in Naples is $63,600. In 30 years, when you may be looking for an assisted living facility for yourself, it is expected that the annual cost will be $163,775. Even for the most affluent, this is not a check you want to write if you can avoid it. We offer long-term care planning techniques for the wealthy and self-insured.
