You are invited to tune in to the next Wicked Insurance Matters with Greg Durette Radio Show which airs LIVE, this and every Wednesday, 9:30 – 10:00am Eastern time. 

This week’s show is titled, The Nightmare Inheritance!.  What the real show title should be is, “How to Prevent Your Dreams of Leaving the Perfect Inheritance from Becoming a Nightmare” .

Leaving or receiving an inheritance seems like the most simple and wonderful thing that can happen for a person.  It is...if done right.  If done wrong, the financial, legal and life altering consequences can be devastating.

This show will get into the nitty gritty about

• How to avoid common mistakes when leaving an inheritance
• How not to leave an inheritance
• How a divorce can steal your inheritance from your children and grandchildren
• How to avoid the most devastating inheritance mistake

After over 32 years in the insurance side of the financial world, I can bring a new perspective to this subject that only time, experience and exposure to some pretty unsavory family battles can provide.

It is far better to learn about these things and avoid them than it is to experience them yourself and maybe survive to tell about them later.

Your family needs you to know.  You need to know.

You need to get the facts and get them right.  Start by listening to the show and get professional advice from folks like us at #FutureSecuredFinancial.  That can help you get started on your “Guided Research”.

Keep in mind, all shows are recorded so, if you miss one, just go to my blog to look it up and listen in.  You can listen to last week’s show right here, Avoiding Legal/Financial Pitfalls.

The following week’s show (11/18/15) is called “How to do Something About and Prevent Elder Financial Abuse”.   We will have special guest Barbara Anne Foley, Director of the Harwich Council on Aging, who will give us all invaluable information from her unique perspective and position.

Everyone knows they need to do some sort of estate planning but, often and understandably avoid the subject.  After all, who among us really wants to sit down and plot out their own demise?!  The sad fact is, if you don't, all of your best intentions will likely get destroyed, leaving your family to pick up the very tedious and expensive pieces.

This was the subject of my last show, #WickedInsuranceMatterswithGregDurette, heard every Wednesday from 9:30 - 10:00am Eastern Time! 

This show, which can be heard here: Avoiding Legal/Financial Pitfalls

will help you understand:

• How to avoid the number one estate planning mistake
• Why one size planning does not fit all
• How mistakes in planning could mean years of heartache and headache for your family
• Why inheritances can mess up certain members of your family

I was fortunate to have had attorney Richard Scarano as my special guest this week to discuss this very thing.  Born and raised in Boston, he attended the prestigious Boston Latin School and later went on to earn his Bachelors, Master's and Juris Doctorate degrees.  First a school teacher (high school, undergraduate and graduate), he later pursued the practice of law, with concentrations in Estate Planning and Real Estate.  His teaching background serves him and his clients well as he is able to take otherwise complex issues and make them easy and fun to understand.   

As one of the partners at Holmgren Koretz Scarano in Osterville, MA, Rich makes the heavy lifting of building a great legal and financial team easy.  He can be contacted at (508) 420-8899

In my 32+ years in the insurance industry, I have had the good fortune to work with many legal professionals.  Most are good.  Rich is one of the very best because he understands people and their issues.  He even makes house calls!

EVERYONE needs expert information when it comes to the subject of #Insurance and #EstatePlanning.  Listen in and get informed.

No…we are not offering kill you before you do…although, I bet that service could do well in certain markets.
KIDDING!!!  I am just kidding!

What I am really talking about is how to make your money last no matter how long you live.

This was the subject of my last show, #WickedInsuranceMatterswithGregDurette, heard every Wednesday from 9:30 - 10:00am Eastern Time!  In case you missed it, I have included a link for the archived show here:

The number one concern of people over the age of 50 is to have saved too little to keep them in the lifestyle they want in retirement.  Remember, retirement can last a VERY long time…if you’re lucky!  The trick to have your money last as long as you do.

In the show, I use the knowledge I have accumulated over the past 32 years and talk about:

• How to avoid the common pitfalls of using your money
• The profound differences between withdrawals and income
• How index income riders work
• How to beat inflation erosion
• Plus, we even give away a book!

Unless you handle this Distribution phase of your life properly, you will find yourself having to acquire a taste for cat food sooner than you think!  So tune in and get started on the right path before it is too late.

I would also like to invite you to listen in, LIVE, to our next show airing Wednesday, 11/4/15 from 9:30-10:00am eastern time, titled, Avoiding Legal/Financial Pitfalls.  We will have special guest, Richard Scarano, a partner at the law firm, Holmgren Koretz Scarano talking about the importance of having a great team of professionals that know how to work together for you.

He will also talk about:

• How to avoid the number one estate planning mistake
• Why one size planning does not fit all
  
• How mistakes in planning could mean years of heartache and headache for your family
• Why inheritances can mess up certain members of your family

You need to get the facts and get them right.  Start by listening to the show and get professional advice from folks like us at #FutureSecuredFinancial.  That can help you get started on your  “Guided Research”. 

So, why should you make listening to my show a regular part of your life.  Simply put, it is designed to help folks avoid situations like this and offer true, legitimate and impartial information about things like:

•   #LifeInsurance
•   #Annuities
•   #LongTermCare Insurance
•   #Disability Insurance, etc.

I, along with some other expert guests, will explain the myriad of choices found with these products and how you can apply your new found knowledge to your life situations.  Big things such as:

• #Retirement
• #Estate planning
• #College planning
• #Inheritance planning
• #Business applications
• #ElderFinancialAbusePrevention
• #SpecialNeeds planning and so much more

Water cooler conversation and what you heard from your cousin Vinny at the family picnic will simply not do. 

Feel free to use our show as your #DirtyLittleSecret as to why you are the smartest insurance person in the room.

Many people are shy or embarrassed to ask questions insurance.  They think they will look stupid or are the only ones that don’t know the answer.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  EVERYONE needs expert information when it comes to the subject of #Insurance.  Listen and get informed.

The old joke is, when you hear the words “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”, you should RUN!!!

That may be true in many instances but this time, there is something good to be found…really…I kid you not.

I discussed this very subject in my last show, #WickedInsuranceMatterswithGregDurette, heard every Wednesday from 9:30 - 10:00am Eastern Time!  Since we archive each show, you can listen to this episode right here:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/wickedhousewivesofcapecodtoo/2015/10/21/greg-durette-with-wicked-insurance-matters-how-the-govt-is-helping-with-ltc  

The government started a little pilot program many years ago called the Partnership Program with just 4 States that has grown to include nearly every State.

What it does is provide people an asset exclusion incentive to go out and buy their own #LongTermCare insurance.  Simply put, buy a “qualifying” policy on your own, and they will exclude a large chunk of your assets that would otherwise need to be spent down to qualify for #Medicaid.  

After 32 years in the industry, I understand it can be very confusing to know which type of Long Term Care policy may be right for you…and the internet can make things worse.

So, this show got into the weeds a little bit to try and help you understand:

• What types of Long Term Care policy types are available
• Who should buy them
• How much to buy
• What to look for when making a purchase
• What HYBRID policies are and how they work

The purchase of the right Long Term Care policy can have a positive, profound and life altering impact on you, your family and your heirs.  The purchase of the wrong could have an exponentially negative impact. 

You need to get the facts and get them right.  Start by listening to the show and get professional advice from folks like us at #FutureSecuredFinancial.  That can help you get started on your  “Guided Research”.
