IRA Rollovers

If your career has changed or you have retired, you may be faced with the need to make changes to protect retirement income sources like an IRA or an employer sponsored 401(k) plan or a pension plan. As someone who already knows the value of setting aside money for retirement, you may be interested in finding out how easy it is to move your IRA to First Community Trust where you can take advantage of benefits such as investment flexibility and easy account access.

If you will be receiving a lump-sum distribution from any of these plans, you may be able to avoid premature or unnecessary taxes with one simple step: roll the funds over into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). An IRA rollover provides you with an opportunity to take any eligible lump-sum distribution from an existing retirement plan or IRA and deposit it in an IRA.

We specialize in navigating clients through the complex rules and regulations surrounding individual retirement accounts and retirement plan distributions. We work with clients to develop an asset allocation strategy for their Rollover IRA, taking into consideration investment objectives, cash needs, risk tolerance, time horizon, tax implications and estate planning.

Trusts

Trusts are powerful, versatile estate planning tools with the ability to accomplish a number of estate planning objectives. Trusts come in many types for many purposes: Testamentary Trusts, Living Trusts and Life Insurance Trusts to name a few. A trust has value in that it ensures your property will be managed and transferred to others exactly as you intended. A trust can eliminate the possibilities of your property passing on to people you never intended or being lost through the inexperience of those who received it. It also can reduce or eliminate the costs of death taxes and probate that could leave your surviving spouse or beneficiaries with far less than you had planned.

We serve as trustee for the following types of trusts:

  • Revocable Trusts
  • Irrevocable Trusts
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Trusts where we are successor trustee and/or co-trustee
