Winter Park Retirement Planning FAQ
Do you have an office in Winter Park?
Our office is in Wildwood, near The Villages. We work with Winter Park and Orlando-area clients by phone at (352) 461-0645, and you're always welcome to meet with us in person at our office or at one of our seminars.
Is there a cost for a consultation?
No. Your first consultation is free and there's no obligation. On fixed and fixed index annuities, we're compensated by the insurance company — not by you.
Can you help with a 401(k) or IRA from my former employer?
Yes. When you retire or leave an employer, we'll walk through your options — leaving the account where it is, rolling it over, or using part of it to create guaranteed income through an annuity* — and what each one means for your taxes and income.
How does a fixed index annuity work?
A fixed index annuity credits interest based partly on the performance of a market index, up to a cap or participation rate. Your principal isn't exposed to market losses — in a down year you're credited zero instead of losing money.* Surrender charges apply if you withdraw more than allowed during the surrender period.
How do I plan for healthcare costs in retirement?
We look at Medicare timing, supplemental coverage costs, and how out-of-pocket expenses fit into your income plan — so healthcare is planned for instead of a surprise.
