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.
