For Men
A Commitment to the Women in Your Life
A Gift of Lasting Security
- 80% of women live out their final years single, often outliving their spouses. It’s crucial to prepare for a future where the women you love may need to navigate financial decisions independently.
- 80% of men pass away while married, leaving behind partners who may not have been as involved in the financial planning process. We believe it’s essential to ensure they are not left feeling uncertain or alone.
- Loss of Social Security Income: When a husband passes, his widow typically loses one of the Social Security checks the couple relied on. This reduction in income can significantly impact her financial stability, making it essential to plan for this change in advance.
- Increased Tax Burden: Upon becoming widowed, a woman usually moves from the more advantageous married filing jointly tax status to single filing. This shift often leads to higher tax rates despite her income being lower, further stressing the importance of careful financial planning.
- 70% of widows change financial advisors after their husband’s passing because they feel disconnected from the process that was once led by their spouse.
- Inheritance and Wealth Transfer: Women often become the inheritors of their spouse’s assets. By involving them in financial planning now, you prepare them to manage and preserve the legacy you have built together.
