MARYLAND FINANCIAL PLANNERS, LTD. December 1, 2021 Maryland Financial Planners, Ltd. 201 Thomas Johnson Drive Suite 200 Frederick, MD 21702 ph: 301.663.5454 fax: 301.663.9451 MARYLAND FINANCIAL PLANNERS, LTD. Put Your Future in Capable Hands A financial advisor you can trust; an organization you can count on. With Maryland Financial Planners, Ltd., you get both. Here's how we work: We identify your needs and objectives. We fully analyze and evaluate your personal situation. We give you input and advice to help you make timely, informed decisions. The benefits of this approach are obvious. You gain a greater appreciation of your financial situation and the impact that various options can have on the financial well-being of you and your family. This places you in a better position to make wise decisions, and makes implementation much easier. We're with you all the way. Many of our clients have long-term advisors - an attorney, a CPA, a broker - they already trust. We supplement and coordinate the work these advisors do for your estate, retirement and business succession planning. Specifically, we look at all areas of your financial plan and pull them together in a cross-disciplinary manner to most effectively help meet your financial security and asset preservation needs and objectives. No more guesswork. Without the help of an accurate, focused and long-range financial model, you aren't planning. You're just guessing. We have access to proprietary software that allows us to create an individualized "financial condition model" for you. This model can reveal: The long-term adequacy of your current financial resources and plans. A comparative analysis of financial planning strategies you're considering or already have in place. The impact of future changes in your personal or family situation, asset values, taxes or inflation. We help you see the big picture. Inflation. Changing tax laws. Volatile financial markets. Evolving personal, business and family circumstances. It can be overwhelming to keep up with or, for that matter, respond to the implications of every financial event that may impact you. And you don't have to - it's our job. Here's how we can help: Succeeding in business succession. Today, fewer than one-third of family businesses survive to the second generation, and only about 12% make it to the third.1 So, whether you plan to retain or sell your business at death, disability or retirement, you need expertise to develop a succession plan that will also maximize the tax and financial benefits to you and your family. Reducing the burden of estate taxes. Proper planning is the key to minimizing your estate settlement costs and preserving more of your estate. Without it, estate taxes could claim up to half of everything you own. Retiring with a sense of security. Leave as little as possible to chance. That's our number one rule in helping our clients enjoy the secure retirement they deserve and desire. Investing with confidence. Once we help identify your objectives, assess your risk tolerance and scrutinize your portfolio, we can suggest the appropriate asset allocation strategy. Based on your own preferences, we'll recommend specific investment products to help you towards reaching your goals. Getting educated. When it comes to preparing for your children's or grandchildren's education, you may need help. We stay on top of changing tax rules that affect education funding and can help you determine the way to approach this need. Building the foundation. A big part of keeping your dreams alive is protecting your family's financial situation. There is a full spectrum of insurance products designed to help you manage the risks of premature death, disability and health care. We know financial planning like nobody's business.
