When you change jobs, your retirement plan shouldn’t be left behind. We’ve seen how old 401(k) accounts can quietly accumulate fees, mismatched investments, and forgotten beneficiary forms — risks that matter more the closer you are to retirement. In our latest article I walk through when a rollover to an IRA can help: broader investment choices, clearer fees, and a simpler structure to build a withdrawal strategy before markets test your plan.

If you’re 55 or older, now is a good time to review scattered accounts and make a deliberate choice — not a default. Read practical guidance on direct vs. indirect rollovers, tax considerations, and a simple checklist to protect your retirement income. For faith‑based, experienced advice grounded in stewardship and long-term planning, we’re here to help.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT "WILL AWARENESS" IN 2026
If you're among the people who are on the fence about a will, the best way to make smart decisions for your situation is to be armed with the facts.
If you've got a family, a home and any kind of financial account, having a will in place may be beneficial to you and your heirs. When done properly, a will can help individuals resolve everything from designating a guardian for children, to passing on a family-owned small business, and mitigating any intra-family conflicts.

We know family changes like marriage, divorce, births and deaths are all but guaranteed. These life events can render a will obsolete and unaligned to your wishes, can prove problematic if not updated.

Please Join us for this complimentary informational seminar. We will discuss how to create a solid life after work plan. Seating is limited, so sign up today!
