The Sooner you start the less expensive and more value you can secure for yourself. Some Policies can be designed to return the premium you pay to your heirs should you not use your plan. Now that, would be a great legacy to anticipate - and for which to plan!

800-834-8034✓ Self-Insure: For an individual with substantial retirement income and liquid assets, self-insurance may be an option however it will impact the allocations of your income flow & assets. The majority of individuals and families are not in a position to self-insure.
Self-insuring or leveraging your cash or single premium contribution plans, For example: life insurance/long term care/guaranteed return of premium, allow Individuals to retain wealth and individuals business owners to leverage their own liquid cash to fund for an extended long term care event. Some policies also guarantee your premium contributions returned on a vested schedule up to 100% after 5 years, in the event you decide to quit and cancel the plan.
✓ Medicare/Medicaid: Medicare will only pay for the first 20 days of skilled nursing care if you were in the hospital for a minimum three-day stay (not counting discharge day) and you require skilled care and your condition is restorative (you are getting better/improving) usually but to qualify the patient must spend down assets & have a very limited income.
✓ Long Term Care Insurance (LTCI): LTCI is designed to help cover the costs of long-term care to protect assets and assure more choices about the types and quality of care (personal/skilled & at home care, residential/assisted living care, skilled nursing care). These premiums are paid over the lifetime of the insured.
✓ Life Insurance, Annuity Policies with LTC Insurance: Another option to provide some financial assistance are life insurance and annuity policies with a LTCI rider for LITC services. Some of these policies with a LTC rider provide a valuable “Care Coordinator” for your family in the event you or a loved one needs care.

Planning with our team will keep that $1 per $100 deposited in the employee pocket.
We've looked into the CalSavers Plan and it seems to us that the Employers are the conduit from employee monies to the government to manage at a 1% fee ($0.95 per $100). The plan we propose will keep the employees $1 per $100 and FUTURE $1.00 PER $100 dollars deposited in their pocket
NOW AND IN THE FUTURE This is what SIMPLE IRA PLANS aim to do like all Tax Deferred vehicles as it makes a large difference over a long period of time, Say 20 years. Not only will the Employees be depositing money but the Employer can Match 1-3% of their deposit they have made and have the ability to write that off of their company taxes. This is a large selling point for those EMPLOYEES looking to deposit money for the future and those EMPLOYERS looking to find more write offs.
A SIMPLE IRA PLAN can also be designed to be MEDI-CAL/MEDICAID COMPLIANT (This cannot be done with a 401k Plan) which allows an employee to retain government benefits AND deposit for their old age needs. ---> A SIMPLE IRA plan would also give the individual control of their money INSTEAD OF having it at the mercy of the government and fees that will more than likely INCREASE as time continues......
Being DESIROUS OF depositing MONIES for Employees who want to plan for their future Retirement and Employers who are looking for MORE WRITE OFFS is THE ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE. This won't fit everyone but it will fit many scenarios.
“Can Employers offer SIMPLE IRAs to Employees without enrolling themselves? No, the employer would have no choice if they choose the 2% to match. However, They could opt out if they picked the matching up to a 3% option.----“

Recently I remembered a thought in that some people are savers while others are “Pennywise and Dollar foolish”.
Could this be because some had to "save" in order to live where others were privileged enough to frivolously spend or
in other words,
"unwittingly" spend, money.
As time continued and I sensed that my attention was subconsciously inundated with T.V., Internet, Radio and billboards about "Saving Money" If a person buys one product or service instead of another at a lower price that person is “Saving Money”, which is not true.
Notice the Words SAVE---> EXPAND the picture and pay close attention to the Words of the Yellow Coupon at the Top of the picture. ---> "Spend Life Happy" <--- Which is the Opposite of --> SAVE.
When that person buys that product/service they are
“Not saving” they are “Spending Less/Money”.
“Spending Less Money” as Advertisers subtly imply
is not the same as “Saving Money”
“Saving Money” occurs by Deliberately and Continually Depositing money into a savings account or piggy bank or IRA or 4O1k.
The next time you’re driving looking at billboards, Listening to the radio, or sitting watching T.V. or your Computer don’t
"unwittingly Think"
that “Spending Less” is the same as “Saving Money”.
Yet, Notice HOW Advertisements suggest you believe such.
HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO UNDERSTAND AN "INDEXED" ANNUITY:
CONSIDER ATTENDING A BASEBALL EVENT AND YOU'RE IN THE STANDS WATCHING THE GAME. YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR HAND AND YOU DECIDE TO BET ON THE GAME. IF YOU DO SO YOU'RE "BETTING YOUR MONEY ON THE GAME ON THE FIELD" AND YOU WILL EITHER WIN THE BET OR LOSE THE BET AS THE GAME PROGRESSES
THIS CAN BE COMPARED TO YOU BETTING ON THE STOCK, BOND OR MUTUAL FUND MARKET AND YOUR MONEY WILL EITHER GO UP OR DOWN OR YOU CAN LOSE EVERYTHING. NOTE: THESE FINANCIAL VEHICLES ARE KNOWN AS "VARIABLE" DOLLARS" AND SOME FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WILL "CHARGE" THE INVESTOR TO GUARANTEE THAT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE (%) CANNOT BE LOST BUT A LOSS IS POSSIBLE AS WELL AS A GAIN--- AND THE RISK REMAINS YOURS.
NOW CONSIDER YOU ARE BETTING ON THAT SAME GAME BUT INSTEAD OF BETTING ON THE GAME BEING PLAYED ON THE FIELD YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE MONEY IN YOUR HAND "BUT NOW YOU'RE BETTING ON THE SCOREBOARD".
WHETHER THE SCOREBOARD GOES UP OR DOWN YOU CANNOT LOSE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE THE SCOREBOARD IS SIMPLY SHOWING THE "SCORE" AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE GAME IS WON OR LOST SINCE IT'S SIMPLY THE NUMBERS DURING EACH INNING OF THE GAME THAT EFFECT YOUR MONEY. THESE FINANCIAL VEHICLES ARE KNOWN AS "FIXED/GUARANTEED DOLLARS" AND THERE ARE "NO CHARGES" TO PROTECT AGAINST ANY LOSS OF YOUR MONEY AND YOU CANNOT LOSE YOUR PRINCIPLE AS WELL AS YOU MAY SECURE POTENTIAL GROWTH.
---> ONE OF THESE CONTRACTS/POLICIES ARE KNOWN AS FIXED INDEXED ANNUITIES <---

When the colonists arrived in the Americas, they did so to escape the tyranny of the British who's sole intention was to hold a heavy hand of taxation without representation upon the Pilgrims fleeing a repressive government. They brought documents to prevent any repression that may continue to occur no matter what the future of the society they were building created for their heirs. The Living Trust was one of those cherished documents Pilgrims brought with them and left for us to protect the estates that free men and women build and leave behind for their heirs to enjoy and continue to build-> without the
interference of our government taxing heirs leaving little behind for their
progeny.
**The following information is a cursory review of how a Living Trust functions**
At present an individual can create and estate and pass on $12.06 million as an exclusion from estate taxes to their heirs and is adjusted annually. As a rule of thumb anything above the exclusion rate is taxed -- as high as 40% --by our federal government including attorney fees. Be aware that the Politicians in office have introduced legislation to decrease the EXCLUSION BENCHMARK to $5 million per individual (as adjusted for inflation). What this means is that under a possible change in law, the Living Trust will pay an estate tax to our government if the estate is more than
$5 million.
Again -> what politicians are proposing is to bring down that exclusion benchmark to
$5 million so the government can walk away with what a person has created within their life time. There's scuttlebutt on bring down the benchmark to below $5 million. Politicians love to tax whether via inflation or somehow changing the law and in essence are newly dressed British politicians in American clothing. wheeling their long arm of taxation without representation.
All beneficiaries must be notified by the successor TRUSTEE and it doesn't have to be sent in a fancy legal form. Simply write a letter (track it for proof that it was sent) and as long as it includes all the necessary information (and satisfies your state's rules about content and format, if any) such meets your obligation. here are the essentials, in most states:
Explain that the Living Trust exists. Some beneficiaries may be well aware that the settlor created a Living Trust, but others may not know. Provide your name and contact information. Beneficiaries need to know how to get in touch with you. Inform the beneficiaries that they have the right to see a copy of the Living Trust document and that you will send them one upon request. You can go ahead and include a copy of the trust with your letter.
States that require notice to trust beneficiaries as of 2022.
Can a Marital Living TRUST be changed After one spouse dies?
No, the Living Trustee Cannot do this. Once one of the parties has deceased the Living Trust becomes Irrevocable.
The potential disadvantages include:
Once one spouse dies, no changes can be made to the trust. This can Create Some Issues and has even caused frictions between the surviving spouse and the named beneficiaries of the trust. As mentioned, the surviving spouse’s rights to use the property are limited.
Once one party has deceased the Living Trust becomes Irrevocable & changes are illegal.
