Protect what matters—right-sized coverage for your retirement plan.

Scottsdale fiduciary advisors who help you evaluate and implement the right life and long-term care protections—without over-insuring or buying products that fight your tax/withdrawal strategy.

Who Is This For?

Retirees and pre-retirees (generally $100k+ investable) who want their income plan backed by the right life and long-term care protections—without over-insuring or buying products that fight the tax/withdrawal strategy.

What You Get

Right-Sized Life Insurance

Term or permanent coverage where appropriate—sized to your actual survivor income needs, not one-size-fits-all rules.

Long-Term Care Strategy

Traditional LTC, hybrid life/LTC options, or self-funding strategies—modeled into your overall retirement plan.

Implementation Help

Applications, underwriting coordination, policy delivery, and secure digital vault storage for your policy copies.

Annual Review

Check coverage against life changes and your updated plan—premium reminders and beneficiary reviews included.

Timeline: Typically, clients see their complete plan documented within 1-2 meetings, with most implementations finishing within 10-15 days.

How We Help

01

Inventory & Goals

Capture existing policies, premiums, riders, ownership/beneficiary details, and what coverage is meant to do.

02

Model the "Job"

Quantify survivor income needs, healthcare/LTC scenarios, and tax/estate constraints—so coverage supports your plan.

03

Evaluate Options

Life: term vs. permanent. LTC: traditional vs. hybrid. Medicare: Original + Medigap vs. Advantage.

04

Implement

Coordinate applications and underwriting; when issued, we confirm beneficiary/titling and fund the policy.

05

Review & Update

Premium reminders, annual reviews, and coverage updates when life changes.

Our Approach & Transparency

We're fiduciaries first—insurance serves the plan, not the other way around.

Our Philosophy

  1. 01
    Insurance Supports the Plan

    Coverage is a tool—it should work with your income and tax strategy, not against it.

  2. 02
    Right-Size, Don't Over-Insure

    We model actual needs—not generic rules like "10x income."

  3. 03
    Analyze Before Buying

    We review existing coverage first and recommend keep/adjust/replace.

  4. 04
    Coordinate All Pieces

    Life, LTC, and Medicare decisions integrate with your full retirement picture.

  5. 05
    Review Annually

    Coverage needs change—we check beneficiaries and amounts each year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to buy insurance to work with you?

No. We'll analyze your existing coverage and recommend keep/adjust/replace—buying is optional. Many clients find their current coverage is sufficient once we right-size their needs.

Do you sell Medicare plans?

We provide education and timing guidance (FRA/IRMAA awareness, IEP/SEP enrollment periods). You can enroll directly or through your chosen broker; we can refer if you'd like.

Do you earn commissions on insurance?

If you implement a policy through SG Insurance & Estate Services LLC, the insurer may pay commissions to the agency. Your agent does not get paid a commission. This structure removes the conflict between agent pay and your best interest.

Can you help with long-term care?

Yes—traditional LTC policies, hybrid life/LTC options, and self-funding strategies all modeled into your plan. We help you understand the trade-offs and pick what fits your situation and budget.

Will you store my policy?

Yes—signed copies live in your secure digital vault (encrypted, access-controlled). Keep originals with you, but we'll have backup copies available if needed.
