Case Study
Here’s a typical example of our work with retirees and those preparing for retirement. (This is a theoretical client story only to avoid privacy issues.*)
George and Michelle, 62 and 55, are a married couple that recently sold a very successful business. They approached Holland Capital Management with concerns about optimizing their assets for a comfortable retirement and an efficient transfer of wealth to family and their favorite charities. They had been working with a financial advisor who primarily focused on investments, but they felt that it was critical to get attention across their entire financial landscape.
Our engagement began with an in-depth assessment of their finances, retirement and estate planning goals. They wanted to ensure that their need for retirement income and care would not impact their ability to leave behind a significant legacy. Being very aware of inflation and rising healthcare costs, they were unsure how to best plan for long-term care. Both George and Michelle preferred to receive in-home care if and when needed. They also wanted to focus on wealth preservation and do more to help hedge their holdings against volatility in challenging markets.
To provide them a steady and reliable income stream, we explored specialized trust strategies that could create income for them while ensuring a smooth transfer to the next generation later.
The couple owned several pieces of investment real estate. Since they were interested in minimizing hands-on involvement, we helped them gradually roll these over into more passive holdings using the 1031 exchange provisions of the tax law. This allowed them to delay tax consequences while arranging more favorable future tax implications for their heirs.
Focus on finding tax savings was another critical component of our strategy. Working in concert with their CPA, we researched and identified tax planning techniques designed to minimize their tax burden and enhance their after-tax income. This included strategies for tax-efficient charitable giving, fulfilling their philanthropic desires while providing substantial tax benefits.
To help ensure a smooth transfer of their wealth, we organized and helped facilitate family meetings and education to help prepare their heirs for inheritance. This helped ease the awkwardness and ensured essential conversations about family wealth and priorities were successfully held.
This proactive and personalized service includes frequent follow-ups to look for new opportunities and keep the couple fully informed.
