Retirement planning means a complete review of retirement needs, including health care and end-of life planning, an article in the October issue of Financial Planning magazine reminds readers in a piece about Long-Term Care insurance. While clients with sufficient assets might prefer to self-fund, consideration of possible costs must always be considered a part of retirement planning.
A second article in the same issue cautions advisers to include in their discussions with clients another “growing area of expense”, property taxes, which are “gobbling up a larger share of homeowner budgets”. According to data from the National Association of Homebuilders, the 12-month total for state and local property tax revenue jumped 9% year over year in the first quarter of 2024.
While clients may see no need for additional income either presently or in the foreseeable future, strategic planning must include housing wealth. With a reverse mortgage set up as a future line of credit, (with the un-borrowed portion of the equity guaranteed to grow, tax-free ,at the same growth rate as the interest being charged on the mortgage balance), for even higher net worth clients, their housing wealth can be the key to proactive planning for future escalation in housing and healthcare costs.
