- Wealth Management - helping you manage your investments
We
are available to assist you with your Wealth Management plan (or create
one as necessary). We believe in personally tailoring an investment

in property, life and disability insurance, bonds and money market
funds.
We can not only assist in the creation and planning, but
also monitor and report back to you. We work with your brokers and
agents to minimize risk and maximize wealth creation.
Points to consider:
- Who would take your position in the business?
- Do you need time to get this person ready? Do you have someone in mind?
- Who and how would someone buy out your position in the business? How would it be funded? What would be the terms of the buyout?
- Have
you given any thought to your ultimate departure? Do you have a Will?
If so, is it current? Who will be responsible to administer your
affairs?
-
What if you are incapacitated and therefore
incapable of administering your personal affairs? (i) Do you have a
Living Will to handle your daily health and living issues? (ii) Do you
have an Enduring Power of Attorney to administer your financial affairs?
We can help you plan for these issues - give us a call. Back to top
