Question: Tell me about your activities in the area of estate protection.

Phil Cannella: Every month, I hold educational programs for retirees who want to improve their tax positions as well as training sessions for financial advisors who want to shed their general practitioner status and become IRA specialists. I tell both groups that I can promise my clients three generations of income with a Roth IRA.

Q: Three generations? Seriously?

Phil Cannella: When you understand the math and tax laws that exist to help retirees and know how to make them work for your situation, the confidence to make such a bold statement follows.

Q: Can you be more specific?

Phil Cannella: OK, pay attention now. A stretched Roth IRA earns you about 300% more money than a stretched traditional IRA. A Roth IRA can be stretched across multiple generations. When you leave the golden goose intact and only withdraw the golden eggs—the minimum amount required—the principal continues to grow and will be there for the next generation to enjoy. Here’s how: say, for example, that you leave your $500,000 Roth IRA to your grandson, who is 35 years old when you die. According to the IRS, his life expectancy is 48.5 years. The formula for calculating your grandson’s RMD is: account Balance ÷ life Expectancy = Required Minimum distribution In this case, the calculation is: $500,000 / 48.5 = $10,309. He comes out with a first-year RMD of $10,309. That’s just over 2% of the $500,000 account balance. If your grandson invests the remaining balance wisely, his account could potentially grow at an average rate of 8% to 10% per year. Including his withdrawals, he would realize a 6% to 8% increase of his balance every year.

Q: That gets pretty complicated.

Phil Cannella: It’s not as complicated as it sounds. Let’s continue with this example so you can see how it works. In the first year, your grandson takes his RMD of $10,309, which leaves a balance of $489,691. Let’s say your grandson’s investments pull an 8% return that year. At the end of the year his $489,691 has grown to $528,866. Now, his second year RMD falls due. He’s a year older, so he removes one year from his life expectancy (according to IRS rules). Now his life expectancy is 47.5 years. Remembering the formula, the calculation becomes: $528,866 / 47.5 = $11,134.02. Again, this is just over 2% of his balance. In year three, your grandson has a really good investment return and earns 10%. He takes a $12,247 income and his account balance balloons to $569,505. In other words, your grandson is taking a tax-free income from his inherited Roth IRA, but his account is growing instead of shrinking.

Q: And that can go on indefinitely?

Phil Cannella: In this example and according to the RMD schedule, your grandson will exhaust his account by age 83—because his life expectancy keeps going down and the RMD percentage will keep going up. But guess how much money he will have realized from your $500,000 account? Assuming an average 8% annual return, your grandson will have received over $5 million in tax-free income by the time he exhausts the account. If your grandson died before he reached age 83, the remaining account balance could then pass to his beneficiaries, who would then continue your grandson’s RMD schedule.

Q: So he could leave it to someone else, too?

Phil Cannella: Well, technically, the IRS doesn’t allow the RMD to reset again after the first beneficiary. However, one effective estate planning solution is to split beneficiaries by percentage—so theoretically, you could leave 50% of your Roth to your grandson and 50% to your daughter, and each would operate as a separate account, with separate RMDs based on each person’s life expectancy. In this way, you will be providing a tax-free income for two (and perhaps more) generations of your heirs. Now that’s a guaranteed way to get your family to visit you after you’ve passed.

Question: Is it true that you can set up an account where you pay no taxes at all?

Phil Cannella: Absolutely! And the only thing better than paying taxes in one lump sum or even stretching paying taxes over a lifetime is not paying taxes at all. Until the Roth IRA came along with its ability to build tax-free wealth, stretching a traditional IRA used to be a popular thing to do. But that means paying the taxes over the life of the account. Why would anybody in this country want their children to stretch taxes over their life expectancy when they can instead stretch a tax-free Roth? I don’t know about you but I would rather have a tax-free income over a lifetime than a taxed income over a lifetime, and I’m sure my heirs would appreciate it, too.

Q: I can’t argue with that.

Phil Cannella: It should come as no surprise that when the tax-free Roth conversion law came out, the notion of stretching a traditional IRA became less desirable. You see, that’s the divine and very distinct difference between stretching a Roth IRA versus a traditional IRA. Collect income with taxes or collect income without paying taxes? It’s as simple as that. Once you convert your IRA or any retirement account to a Roth, it remains tax-free forever, because it gets grandfathered into current tax laws.

Q: Do you mean literally forever?

Phil Cannella: Yes. The IRS can’t touch it no matter what tax legislation is passed.

Q: Give an example of how that might work.

Phil Cannella: Let’s say you convert your IRA to a Roth tomorrow and name your son as a beneficiary, then proceed to live another 10 wonderful years. Soon after you pass away, tax laws change and the IRS puts a stop on the conversion of any more Roth accounts. That’s it—they’re history. But your son’s is safe and available for him to stretch over his lifetime. All existing Roth accounts are exempt, so his inherited account will remain tax-free. Taxes will fall due on traditional IRAs where taxes haven’t been paid. But you were smart. You paid taxes on that account 10 years ago when the law was available and you converted your IRA to a Roth.

Q: But I’ve heard you say before that people should “get it while the getting is good.”

Phil Cannella: Given the tax predicament our country will face in just a few years from now and a Social Security system that’s on the verge of going broke, I presume that the IRS will put a stop to new Roth conversions. They’ll probably increase the tax rate; they would have to. I don’t see where they would find the tax dollars to fund our country’s social programs in the future without taxing retirement accounts and traditional IRAs that were never converted to Roths. Taxes don’t get paid on them until money is withdrawn whether in part or in whole, but they will be paid sooner or later. Well then, should Roth conversions ever go away, your decision to take advantage of the law will have turned out to be an even smarter thing to do! You’ll have something that nobody else can get, because the opportunity will no longer be available. By now, the power and versatility of a Roth IRA should be crystal clear. This powerful tax-free account is a souped-up financial vehicle that delivers higher performance in a number of ways. It can decrease your tax burden. It can help you avoid forced RMD withdrawals in your retired years if you don’t need the money. And it can produce non-taxable income for you when you need it and can be stretched to your heirs.

Q: That’s a powerful account indeed.

Phil Cannella: You can transfer this instrument and its tax-free holdings to the people you love, and if it’s managed properly, it has the potential to accumulate faster than your heirs withdraw from it. This potential is created by the fact that your heirs will be younger than you are, and their RMD will be based on their life expectancy, not yours.

Another brief installment from our reporter’s extended interview with noted retirement specialist Phil Cannella, founder and CEO of First Senior Financial Group and host of The Crash Proof Retirement Show™.

Q: What’s the objective of your firm?

Phil Cannella: The goal of First Senior Financial Group is to provide consumers with a proactive approach toward protecting their hard-earned nest egg from the many different and little-known risks that every senior faces. I tell them how to avoid the excessive risks and fees of securities and still have the potential to out pace inflation.

Q: Can you be a bit more specific?

Phil Cannella: I show people how to steer clear and escape the unnecessary taxation on IRAs, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and other retirement accounts that cost American retirees and baby boomers millions and millions of dollars every year. I teach retirees how to safeguard their assets from the tax-addicted IRS—

Q: Tax-addicted?

Phil Cannella: How else would you describe the IRS! Anyway, in the hope that they may realize the comfortable retirement they desire while creating a lifetime legacy of tax-free income for their spouses and generations to come.

Q: Why does that take such special expertise?

Phil Cannella: There are little-known IRS laws and IRA federal laws that harbor secrets—secrets that could be most profitable for you—and I reveal exactly what they are, and how people can use them to their benefit. In these troubled times, one thing the American Retiree can bank on is that Phil Cannella and First Senior Financial Group have your back.

Bad credits… most of the time this things cannot be avoided, especially when if you are only depending on in the income of your employment. And you don’t have any other source of income, the result is… you will have a bad credit report because you were not able to pay your loans that has to be paid during due dates. This case has been happening almost for everyone who’s not having any other alternatives for their family earnings. Technically, if you are badly stuck in this situation there still another option, apply for loans for people with bad credit  score. There are lenders who are giving consideration for those are having bad credit reports. Although your status is undesirable, you can still have a chance to start with because of the benefit from what lenders been given to those who got bad credit reports. Just face the facts, lenders needs clients, now, if they are going to totally put their policy only for those who got good credit scores, their business will be closed. Know why? Because eighty percent of the population are only relying on their employment income and any undesirable situation will put those clients to the bad score of credits. And if, they are not going to make any options for this situation, their business will be closed, because those who are doing well will not enter into a long loan payment. The longer the loan will be paid, the greater earnings the lenders have. That’s why; you don’t have to be affected too much on the credit scores you got.

You can cheer up your mind about this situation, clients with bad credit reports are mostly the source of the big earnings of the lenders. They commonly apply for a long term loans, which will give so many profits for the lenders. On the side of the clients, they can get a bit comfort of the benefits, that at least they were able to avail those chances but bad credit clients don’t know how useful they are to the lenders. The only thing that the lenders been worried of is that, if their bad score clients will file bankruptcy as their last options. But still they will have the advantages because there are times that they can get the unit of whatever loans you made to them other than money. Whatever you have paid to them it is already there profits, because they will again sale the unit that they took from you. And they can put it in a new price where other clients will be tempted to take it, their business will still continue circulating. You should understand too, that in business there is always ways to drive how to earn money, that is the nature of the business people, concerning the profits to let their business keep going. So, bad credit scores has always the chance to make their application for another loan services.

Grants are financial aids that are given by institutions, government or foundation that can be achieved by either submitting a proposal or replying to a request by the company. These grants require different kinds of report or compliances that can be further inquired in the company you are applying for. Commonly, they are given by non-profit institutions to victims of a calamity. They are used by people when applying for college, building up a small business and for first time home owners.

People who have no money for college often stop their studies and focus more on working. This is a common way of life for families that has no capacity to send their children to college education. Because having a college degree costs a lot of money, college grants are made to support people who need funding for their higher education. Depending on the type of grant that you are applying, there are certain requirements and application that should be made. It should be pointed out that education grants are different from scholarships. The latter is known to require a lot more requirements and for student who are already attending an educational institution.

Another common type of grants that are widely used is business grants. There are big and small business grants that have different requirements. Because this is business we are talking about, the requirements into applying for it is strict. Specificity is the key to achieving the condition for a business grant. A business establishment’s sales, revenue and other accounting records are processed by the grating committee. They decide whether to deny or reject your application. The government does not offer business grants but there are several departments that support entrepreneurs who wish to create their very own business entities. Big companies that are already established offer financial aids to small business owners. These institutes help other business alike by providing aid in terms of money and also of other kinds of support.

The government offer grants for housing too. Common kinds are those for current owners who need home repairs badly, loaning target houses and first time home owners. Every state offer different programs for their respective location or the conditions for each of them. But for most first time home buyers, a grant is specifically related to their income level. Certain conditions arise from different grants but almost all of them benefits the applicant. Because not all of us have the right funding to buy our dream house, these grants are made to support home buyers who work hard to support their needs. Newly created families need the time and support to properly set up their lives. These grants, whether for houses or business helps people in a lot of ways.

There are several methods to file for bankruptcy. This video shows only three of these methods and you can choose which one is the best for you. A good advice tells you to look for the best method that allows you to save money on legal expenses. Let me describe these three methods here to give you a better idea.

The safest method of filing for bankruptcy is to hire a personal bankruptcy lawyer. A bankruptcy lawyer assures you protection from harassment by creditors. This can be a little bit expensive but it is the fastest and most reliable way to declare bankruptcy.

If you don’t want to hire a professional bankruptcy lawyer because it is too expensive, then you can also file your declaration on your own. You just need to get a deeper understanding of the bankruptcy laws. You need to keep yourself updated with these laws because these laws are frequently changing.

However, if you are not very confident about your knowledge on bankruptcy laws and you don’t want to spend much on lawyer’s fees, then you can combine the first two methods mentioned above. This is called the hybrid method. You will only be paying the lawyer for filing the bankruptcy papers. You will be taking care of the rest of the filing process on your own. That would definitely cost much lesser than completely employing the services of a professional bankruptcy lawyer.

Educating yourself with the right information is a never a waste of your time. That is the message this video wants to deliver to its audience. That is also the motivation for this blog. Whatever method you choose when filing for Bankruptcy, it is always best to have a good understanding on bankruptcy laws. That will help achieve better results.

This blog was created to give you some bankruptcy information which you might find helpful in deciding how you want to file for bankruptcy. If you think that declaring bankruptcy is the only way to solve your financial issues, then it is about time to start considering which method you would like to use. You may just want to keep in mind your budget.

Declaring bankruptcy surely is a complicated process. Much information is needed to keep yourself on the right track. Fortunately, there are plenty of bankruptcy information available online. You can also seek the assistance of a professional bankruptcy lawyer. That makes the job easier for every individual.
