Helping Diligent Advisors Ensure They're On The Right Planning Path

New Resources: Mortgage Refinancing Flowchart & Sudden Wealth Event Checklist


Resource Additions, Announcements

We’re excited to announce two new resources this month to help you be more diligent in the planning process.  Details are below:

New Flowchart: Should I Consider Refinancing My Mortgage?

When interest rates decline, mortgage refinancing becomes a particularly popular topic. However, there are several other good reasons for clients to consider refinancing, including an increase in their credit score or home value, or the availability of more favorable loan terms. Each client’s situation is unique, and many factors must be considered before making the decision to refinance.

New Checklist: What Issues Should I Consider If I Experience A Sudden Wealth Event?

Clients can experience a variety of wealth events that lead to a financial windfall, including the sale of a business or real estate, an inheritance, lottery winnings, or a legal settlement. An increase in wealth, especially when unexpected, large, and/or sudden, requires thoughtful planning. This is a critical time to provide guidance and value to your clients, and offers a unique opportunity to make a significant positive impact.

“It is very helpful for us when we have a client in and we have an issue at hand. Walking through the checklist helps us big time.”
— William, an advisor In Massachusetts
“It’s brilliant to boil complex planning strategies into a one-page flowchart. It totally beats having to read 4 -5 articles to understand each nuance and exception, especially on the tax issues.”
— Meghan, an advisor in Georgia
“I love the new "share a link" feature. This has made it much easier to send flowcharts and checklists to our clients. Thanks for the add!”
— An advisor in Texas
“Thanks for having all of these so conveniently put together. We were working on many of these for years, but often could not find the time to keep them updated. This has been a blessing to our firm. ”
— An advisor in Texas
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
— An advisor in Texas
“In client meetings I'm often sharing a checklist regarding a specific topic, and helping clients understand the planning issues, opportunities, and process all very quickly and efficiently.”
— An advisor in Texas
“Our team has really liked the charts and were particularly pleased with the traditional IRA vs. 401k for a business and the QBI chart.”
— Scott, an advisor in Oregon
