Peace of Mind For Your Loved Ones.
For most people, experiencing a disability or requiring long-term care are frightening prospects. Nobody likes to think about assisted living, disability, or protracted illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. Planning for the possibility of these events is important, but you may be putting it off. Or, perhaps you have already done some planning. If that is the case, when is the last time you reviewed your plan? Are you sure it is still adequate to meet your potential future needs?
Even if you do eventually require long-term care, you want to remain in control of your life. You want to choose your own assisted living facility, rely on the doctor of your choice, and receive the best care possible. This control requires planning up front. Because your future lifestyle and that of your family depend on your long-term care plan, it is important not only to implement long-term care solutions, but to review these solutions periodically.
The ability to earn an income is one of your greatest assets. What would happen if you lost this ability? Tragedies can destroy your financial future if proactive measures have not been taken to protect your family if you become disabled. Moorman, Harting Financial Services, Ltd. specializes in advising you on the proactive steps that you can take to protect your income and preserve your assets. We will recommend the proper mix of investments and disability coverage to help keep income flowing to you. Such measures could include income protection insurance which covers up to 75% of your gross income and is paid directly to you.
At Moorman, Harting Financial Services, Ltd., we will develop a well-designed plan structured to minimize the financial impact of life’s unforeseen tragedies. Our comprehensive plan includes:

Helping Your Children and Grandchildren.
College tuition costs continue to increase, while the savings and investment programs you have in place to fund your children’s education may be in a constant state of flux. Changes to your current lifestyle can also affect the amount of money you are contributing to education savings.

it is important to regularly review your specific goals, and actively plan for education costs.
By conducting a review of your current financial plan, we can help you make sure you have an education plan suited
to your family’s needs. We can help make sure that the dreams you have for your children’s education come true, and, if necessary, recommend a course of action to help your strategy keep pace with today’s realities.

Business owners need to remember that changes in their life situation will impact their businesses. For example, you may be saving diligently for your retirement, but have you thought about what will happen to your business when you retire?

Take Care of Your Loved Ones.
If you’re like most people, estate planning is not a topic you spend a lot of time thinking about. That’s understandable; after all, who really wants to think about death? You probably have a will in place, but when is the last time you reviewed it? How can you be sure it’s up-to-date?
Chances are you have experienced changes in your life since you drafted your will. You might have gotten married or divorced, welcomed a child or grandchild, acquired or sold a business, or developed new future financial obligations, the estate plan that was adequate before may no longer be appropriate today.
