What is Financial Life Planning?

Think of the raw materials used to build your financial home. Now, visualize these materials lying around, unassembled, uncoordinated.

  • Investments     Health Care     Heirs
  • Wills     Insurance     Charity
  • Trusts     Living Expenses     Retirement Plans
  • Social Security     Education     Annuities

How will you put them together to build a strong, enduring structure to shelter you, your spouse, and your children now and in the future?

This is where we come in.

We are Lof Financial Advisors – your architect and general contractor.

When you team with Lof Financial Advisors, you don’t have to know all the questions. That’s our job! We identify potential risks to your Financial Life Plan and work with you and your other professional advisors to address them. We also monitor your financial home to keep it running smoothly for years.
