Last week, Debbie Taylor and Caroline Taylor headed to Carson Excell, our firm's national conference, and both took the stage.

Debbie presented on what estate planning means for high-net-worth families in 2026, including the new tax law changes and why plans written under the old rules deserve a fresh look. Caroline co-presented on how technology is changing the way tax planning is delivered.

Sharing ideas with a room full of advisors from across the country is one way we keep bringing the latest thinking back to the families we serve.

It was also a lot of fun. Time with colleagues from around the firm, great conversations, and a front row spot at the Goo Goo Dolls concert made for a week we will not forget. Doing it together made it even better!

Proud of both of them, and already looking forward to next year.

When Sarah came to us, over 75% of her $6.6M portfolio was tied up in one tech stock, and past advisors kept telling her to "just diversify slowly."

We took a different approach: reviewed her full tax picture, found a Roth conversion opportunity others had missed, and brought her concentration down from 77% to 30%, carefully, without an unnecessary tax hit.

That's what coordinated planning looks like in action.

Midterm season is here, and if you feel a little uneasy watching the headlines, you are not alone.

History gives us some useful context. The run-up to a midterm election tends to bring more market swings than usual. That choppiness is a normal, well-documented pattern, not a sign that something is wrong.

Once results are finalized, markets have historically settled and the months that follow have generally been strong for stocks. As the graph shows, the S&P 500 finished higher in the 12 months following each of the last six midterm elections, going back to 2002. Gains ranged from 2.1% in 2010 to nearly 15% in 2002, but the direction held steady every time.

What actually moves your portfolio day to day is interest rates, inflation, corporate earnings, and productivity gains. Those forces do not pause for an election.

Our guidance stays the same: stay invested, stay diversified, and let your financial plan guide your decisions rather than short-term political noise. If anything changes that outlook, we will reach out.

Last week our team took a break from the office and headed to the US Open, watching Coco Gauff take on Paula Badosa and Alexander Zverev face off against Quentin Halys.

There is something about getting out of the office and into a different environment that reminds a team why they work so well together. The conversations that happen outside of meetings and client calls, over great tennis and even better company, are the ones that make a real difference in how a team shows up for each other and for clients every day. Trust, communication, and genuine care for one another are not things that come from a meeting agenda.

The team at Carson Wealth Franklin Lakes brings that same care and commitment to clients every day. Nights like last night are a good reminder why.

Financial myths can influence decisions just as much as market conditions.

In this clip from our recent "Women & Wealth: Protecting & Growing What You’ve Built" webinar, Debbie Taylor, CPA/PFS™, JD, CDFA®, Managing Partner and Chief Tax Strategist, takes on five common myths surrounding women and investing.

The larger message is an important one: good financial decisions should be based on your goals, your circumstances and a thoughtful plan, not outdated assumptions about how women “should” approach money or investing.

Watch Debbie walk through the five myths and the planning perspective behind them.

Throwback to Debbie's session at the Carson Q3 Summit in Boston earlier this month, where she spoke about something a lot of our clients quietly deal with: having built real wealth, but feeling stuck when it comes to actually using it.

Selling a business, real estate, or a concentrated stock position often comes with a tax bill big enough to make people put it off for years. Debbie's message: that hesitation usually isn't about the wealth itself, it's about not having a clear plan for the tax side of it.

At our office in Franklin Lakes, that means looking closely at your tax picture and making sure your investments, taxes, and estate plan work together, not separately.

August is National Make-A-Will Month, a good excuse to finally handle something most people keep putting off.

If you don't have a will, or haven't looked at yours in a few years, you're not alone. But here's the thing: without one, the state decides who gets what, who raises your kids, and who settles your affairs. Not a decision anyone else should be making for your family.

Debbie Taylor and our team can help you put a plan in place that actually reflects what you want. Give the office a call this month. We are happy to walk you through it.
