We are looking forward to seeing you soon!

It is important to us that you get the most out of your meeting. We’ve found the below items can make a big difference in a productive conversation.

Goals

What would you like to accomplish? When? Who is part of your plans? Most people find it helpful to take some time to think about their goals. Be as specific as you can. It may help to organize your goals by short, medium, and long. Short-term goals are those that you plan to accomplish within 2 years. Long-term goals are beyond 5 years. Finally, medium-term goals are between 2-5 years. Share that with us. We would love to hear them.

Questions

You have real questions. We have real answers. Before we get together, take a few moments and write down any questions or topics you’d like to focus on. It is important to us that you feel comfortable to ask any questions you have.

Documents

These are a few items to bring with you.

Updated legal documents such as Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney, Trust, or Estate documents.
Recent and complete statement on any other financial accounts. 401k, Social Security benefits, pension estimate… etc.
Banking information
Beneficiary information (if changing):
