Understanding Long Term Care: A New Approach to Safeguarding Your Retirement Assets
Hello, Michiganders!
It's Dan Hagy here from Safeguard Retirement Solutions. With over 40 years of experience in helping retirees, I've witnessed firsthand the challenge of managing long-term care costs. Today, I'm excited to share insights that could be a game-changer in protecting your hard-earned assets and ensuring a comfortable retirement.
The High Stakes of Long-Term Care
As we age, the likelihood of needing long-term care increases significantly. Recent statistics suggest that over 70% of individuals over age 70 will require some form of long-term care. With costs averaging around $100,000 per year, it's a significant financial burden that can rapidly deplete a lifetime of savings. For married couples, the situation is even more critical, as the need for care by one spouse can jeopardize the financial security of the other.
Traditional Solutions and Their Limitations
Traditionally, the approach to managing these risks involved purchasing long-term care insurance. However, these plans can be prohibitively expensive and may not offer the comprehensive coverage needed. Relying solely on Medicare and supplemental insurance plans often falls short, as they cover very little regarding nursing home, assisted living, or home health care costs.
A New Asset Preservation Strategy
Imagine a solution where you could simply reposition a portion of your estate's assets to cover unlimited lifetime home health care, assisted living, and nursing home care. This innovative approach offers a safety net without the need to purchase costly long-term care insurance plans. If care is not needed, your repositioned assets return to your estate tax-free upon death, with interest. This plan not only provides peace of mind but also ensures the financial well-being of a surviving spouse.
Benefits at a Glance:
Coverage for unlimited lifetime home health care, assisted living, and nursing home care.
Tax-free return of repositioned assets to your estate if care is not needed.
A single plan covers both spouses, eliminating the need for two separate insurance policies.
Pro-rata return of assets, tax-free, at death if only limited long-term care is needed.
