Ostrow Reisin Berk & Abrams, Ltd. invites you to attend a seminar on October 27, 2015 where we will discuss the importance of organizing your finances and communicating information and desires today, in case death or disability strikes tomorrow.

You have spent a lifetime creating wealth.  As you age, it is important to organize and communicate your financial situation so wealth is not lost or family members are not overwhelmed with locating assets or missing important payments if you are no longer able to handle your affairs.

At this seminar, we invite you to join us for an overview of:

  • Organization techniques – Developing a filing system and saving important information while discarding unnecessary paper.
  • Tracking receipts and bill payments so nothing is lost in transition if you are unable to be personally involved.
  • Matching your lifestyle to financial status as you age.
  • Developing and articulating an investment strategy so your assets continue to be managed as you desire if you are not able to make decisions personally.
  • Coordinating your estate plan with your desires under the current law.   

There is no charge to attend this program. Seats are limited. Please register on or before October 23.

During the course of the presentation, we will show how active lifestyle planning can help meet both short and long term goals.  Many clients want to retire at a certain age or have other goals in mind, but seldom are the necessary steps outlined and monitored.  Today, we will talk about the following planning ideas:

  • How should asset allocation change over time?

  • Should you continue to fund retirement plans?
  • Should you spend retirement funds or other savings first?
  • The psychology of spending:  Will I run out of money?

Frank will discuss why having an estate plan in place is crucial. He will address:

  • Planning for incapacity
  • Avoiding probate
