Protection Planning is sometimes one of the most overlooked parts of someone’s financial plan. It may not be as exciting as growing wealth and accumulating money and assets, but it is just as important and necessary. What is Protection Planning though? There are multiple aspects involved. Some people need all of them, while others only need one or two. Protection Planning is developing a strategy, or strategies, to mitigate or to ideally, totally avoid risks that could force you to use the wealth that you have grown in ways that you didn’t intend and/or don’t want to. Those risks, among many, are living longer, shorter, or in a diminished capacity, a volatile or extended down market, creditors, liabilities, and unforeseen life changes such as divorce, deaths of loved ones, job loss/change, etc. There are many changes that occur during one’s life, some are in our control, and some are obviously not.
