What have you been doing recently? I've been watering the garden. We've watered and watered and watered, trying to conserve and not overdo it, but also trying to save our native ferns and a few other beloved plants. We've also visited with family and celebrated a few birthdays. Here we are with our kids a few weeks ago. How is your summer going? Are you watering, visiting or eating tomato sandwiches?

We work with people of all ages and walks of life, but have a special place in our hearts for surviving spouses. When surviving spouses organize and partner with our team, they are putting their ducks in a row without a significant family member. 

The quote here is from one such widow. We began working with her while she was grieving and continue today as she carefully puts parts of her life back together. We are happy to be a small part of her journey.

Work today looks different than our work in the 70s, 80s, or even before that. Photos of work today usually involve a seemingly delicious cup of coffee and a computer, right? Well, one could hope that coffee was yummy.

Labor Day is approaching. As we rest over a three day weekend, I consider those that labor to make our lives what they are: servers who deliver food to our table, truckers that get most everything from one place to another, farmers that grow our food and flowers for the table. The list is long. We rely on each other. I am grateful.

If you are retired, you may look back on the working years with mixed emotion: miss your buddies, but don't miss the long hours!

We love hearing about what work brings us to retiremwnt and estate planning conversations. Work is often the fabric of our lives. We tend to the result in your work and respect your efforts.

Happy Labor Day, good people. Rest well.

What question is always asked when bad stuff happens?

When your neighbor crashes the car, a friend’s house burns down, or someone lands in the emergency room, what do we do? We comfort, offer help where we can. But invariably, we ask “Do you have insurance?”

In some cases, liability insurance or homeowners’ is needed. In many cases, particularly with accidental or premature death—life insurance comes in to play a key role.

Life insurance can help with a variety of life’s unexpected events:

-- paying off the mortgage, among other expenses if a primary bread-winner dies

-- insuring retirement funds are safe no matter what the stock market will do

-- assuring lifetime income that never runs out, even if you live until what my mom used to say “a million bazillion years old”

-- having sufficient funds for end of life care

-- paying for hospital, ambulance or even food and hotel for visitors while you are on the mend.

Contact our staff at 423.521-5877. We will set up an appointment to talk about what worries you. With insurance, you plan for the worst and hope for the best. No matter what happens, you are prepared and ready.

What does estate planning for a business look like?

When we are a solopreneur or run a small business, we assume the world of IRAs, 401k's and such are limited for use in corporations. Folks with much much more money and large HR departments have these tools to themselves, right? No, not really.

One of the best ways to save a bunch of money--often dollar for dollar saved-- is by setting up a retirement plan for you, primarily. Yes, even if it is just you as the sole employee, this can work beautifully. What about small businesses with 15, 32 or 46 employees? Yes, programs can be crafted for these groups too.

Cath Shaw Insure works with registered and experienced Third Party Administrators (TPA). Together with your CPA (or one provided for you as part of the process), we will take you through how to save on taxes, step by step. Call us or text us at 423-521-5877 to learn more.

You're not alone in the estate settlement process.

Some of us are avoiding putting our affairs in order because there is no one that comes to mind to handle the details when we are gone. This is common with: 

-- folks with estranged relatives

-- you are new to the area and don't know people to ask

-- people that don't trust their kids (or others) to get the settlement details done, or follow your wishes

-- you have moved away from your corporate trustee, either distance or philosophically

The team at Cath Shaw Insure is used to any combination of these scenarios. They can walk you through options and you can interview folks to see who is a good fit. Implementing a set of estate planning decisions shouldn't be a stressful chore. Let the team solve this problem for you, and get you the help you need.

If you you're a key host at a funeral, it helps to assign a dear friend or neighbor to be your handler during the reception and all else. They get food. They ask people to wait a moment while you take a breather, and more.

My husband Graham did this for me when my mom died, and it prevented many stressors. Hang in there. We're thinking of you here at Cath Shaw Insure.
