Ron and Joyce B’s story

Retirement

We have been with XML for decades; through different stages of our lives including putting children through private college without debt, navigating different company retirement plan options, understanding and addressing insurance needs, and helping manage parents' resources with their unique needs and risk tolerances. With XML by our side, we’ve been able to save along the way, watch our portfolio grow and now enjoying a great, early, active retirement with the financial means we needed.

Chip S's story

Considering Retirement

We started working with Jason and the XML team over a decade ago, initially managing our investment accounts. Over the years we have done extensive financial planning which has been vital as my wife and I have considered retirement. We feel confident and comfortable making large decisions in regards to our business, downsizing our home and planning for our retirement years.

Estate Planning

We can assist individuals with estate planning, so that their assets are managed and distributed according to their wishes. We begin by reviewing your financial situation and estate goals comprehensively, considering assets such as property, investments, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies. We can help you implement a plan to align with the directives of your wills, trusts, and work with your power of attorney agents. If you are in need of an estate attorney, we can refer estate professionals whom we have a history of working with. Their expertise ensures that your estate plan aligns with current laws and regulations, maximizing tax efficiency and minimizing potential disputes among beneficiaries. Additionally, they provide strategies for asset protection and charitable giving, ensuring your legacy reflects your values and supports your loved ones for generations to come.

Philanthropic Planning

Our goal with philanthropic planning is to help individuals and organizations maximize the impact of their charitable giving by understanding their philanthropic goals and values, whether supporting specific causes, creating a lasting legacy, or maximizing tax benefits. Through strategic guidance, we assist in structuring charitable donations through donor-advised funds, charitable trusts, or private foundations.

This involves working with your tax professional to analyze the financial implications and tax advantages of different giving strategies to optimize your philanthropic contributions. Additionally, we offer expertise in evaluating charitable organizations and programs to ensure your donations are effectively utilized. By integrating philanthropy into your overall financial plan, we can help you leave a meaningful impact on the causes you care about while aligning with your financial goals and values.

Insurance and risk management can be significant components of financial planning to help individuals and businesses mitigate potential financial losses due to unforeseen events. We have financial professionals who are also insurance agents who can help guide you through these areas by assessing your specific risks and exposures. They analyze various types of insurance coverage, such as life insurance, health insurance, and liability insurance, to determine appropriate levels of protection based on your individual or business needs.

Risk management planning involves transferring risk through insurance and identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks that could impact your financial goals. This proactive approach includes implementing strategies to mitigate risks where possible. Ultimately, clients can confidently navigate uncertainties, protecting their assets, health, and financial well-being against unexpected events that could otherwise derail their financial plans.
