LEGACY PLANNING

​

Navigating the relationship between lifestyle and legacy

​

When people begin planning a financial legacy, they quickly come to the question “How much will be left?” The answer obviously depends on how much one spends, and that recognition leads to this key question: “How can I live my desired lifestyle in retirement and still leave a meaningful legacy?” At Harbourside Wealth Management, we educate you on strategies that support you in your planning efforts as you and your advisor’s work to answer this important question — so you can continue to make a difference in others’ lives, even after you’re gone.

Common Legacy Planning Objectives

​

When thinking about leaving a legacy, many possible purposes arise. Here are just a few, common reasons for leaving money to the special people and institutions in your life:

 

• Provide a source of income so your spouse can live a certain lifestyle

• Enhance your children’s overall financial standing or enable them to pursue specific dreams

• Secure a stable financial future for your grandchildren

• Fund education for children and grandchildren

• Further a cause you care deeply about

• Help an institution accomplish a specific goal
