Age Wisely Financial

Hi! I'm Kevin Lam, and I am the owner of Age Wisely Financial. With more than four decades of accumulated financial wisdom, I guide you (or your parents) in gaining understanding, making decisions, and taking action in such key areas as: • Purpose in Life: crafting a Life Purpose Statement • Income Stability: analyzing Social Security, pensions, investments, annuities • Portfolio Review: assessing asset tax status and allocation for alignment with goals and safeguards • Withdrawing from Investments: evaluating Target Funds, Guardrails, Bucketing, Bond Ladders • Medicare: reviewing current and projected health care costs and coverage • Roth Conversions: potentially lowering taxes in future years • Required Minimum Distributions (RMD): reducing through Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) and Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts (QLAC) • Inheriting an IRA: untangling the complexities of the Required Beginning Date (RBD), 5-year, 10-year, and other rules • Donor Advised Funds (DAF) and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD): using strategies to meet your philanthropic goals and reduce tax • Loss of Spouse: mitigating “widow/widower’s tax penalty” + maximizing Social Security survivor benefits • Long-Term Care: searching for affordable choices • Reverse Mortgage: evaluating for appropriate use in accessing home equity • Aging in Place Modification: assessing home changes for continued independent living • Care Facility Search: helping locate care facilities • Identity Theft and Fraud Prevention: using available protection tools • Legacy Vision: communicating values and memories to future generations • Trusts: explaining use of Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust (IDGT), Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT), Domestic Asset Protection Trust (DAPT), Qualified Personal Residence Trust, (QPRT), Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), and other advanced trusts. I serve you on a flat-fee basis. For individuals, $4,500. For couples, $6,000. I also serve you as Advice-Only. This means I provide recommendations for your asset portfolio (and your entire financial ecosystem), but you are always in command of your assets. You do not pay me any Asset Under Management (AUM) fees. You do not need to transfer any of your accounts. Let's talk. Let's work together to understand your concerns and goals, figure out your choices, and help you navigate your best course of action. Let's gain you comfort in your mind, and heart.
