Precision Thinking for Retirement

Welcome to J. Poels Financial Online!

We appreciate your interest in our firm's services.

Finding an investment advisory and financial planning firm that will meet your current and future needs is extremely important. Every year there seems to be more organizations offering these services, and it is often difficult to tell the difference between them, at least on the surface.

In reality, there are many differences, especially when it comes to the integrity and quality of rendered advice. Our firm maintains its independent status for one primary reason - we believe it is the only way to consistently deliver high quality, unbiased advice.

We invite you to review our professional services presented on our web site which includes our current complimentary offers. In addition, we have included a few sample illustrations to provide viewers with a general idea on how our services can add value. 

If you would like to receive additional information, for no cost or obligation, please contact us at (888) 878-5757 or visit the "Contact Us" section on our site.

Again, thank you for your initial interest.

John P. Poels, ChFC, AAMS

Federal Estate Tax Is Much Lower — For Now

The federal estate tax was repealed in 2010, then reinstated by the 2010 Tax Relief Act with new provisions for 2011 and 2012. This article discusses the temporary provisions, the options for estates of 2010 decedents, and potential changes in future years that could subject many more estates to the federal estate tax than under current law.

One recommendation from the White House Task Force on Middle Class Working Families was for retirees to consider purchasing annuities to help provide a stable income. Investors who want their retirement portfolios to go the distance might want to learn more about variable annuities.

Dispelling Umbrella Insurance Myths

Many people may think their chances of being hit with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit are fairly slim. Besides, wouldn't the liability coverage on their homeowners and auto insurance policies be enough to protect them against a claim or a lawsuit? Unfortunately, there are misconceptions about umbrella liability insurance that could cause someone to be underinsured.

At age 62, the earliest age to claim Social Security, the amount received could be only 70% of the benefit received at "full retirement age" (which ranges from age 65 to 67 depending on year of birth).
