Social Security Analysis
An analysis can help you determine the optimal time to begin taking benefits based on the complexities of your unique situation, including your pensions and other retirement funds, brokerage accounts, your desire to work, financial obligations, health or estate plan wishes.
The age you take Social Security can result in a 25% reduction in benefits, or a 32% increase in benefits.
It is almost impossible to give generic advice regarding Social Security benefits, as each individual's situation is different. Online calculators that make this determination from a few pieces of information are not thorough, as they cannot factor all the complexities of your unique situation.

Our specialists provide guidance on a long-term decision that not only affects you for the rest of your life, but could affect your surviving spouse.
