Who We Work With Around Holmdel
Many of our clients live in Holmdel, Middletown, Marlboro, Colts Neck and Lincroft, and others come from Hazlet, Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport, Keansburg and Red Bank. Some sit down at the office for every meeting. Others prefer a video call with documents shared on screen, which suits a couple where one spouse travels for work or a retiree who spends the winter out of state.
The process is the same either way. We gather statements, beneficiary forms, tax returns and policy pages, then mark up what we see: a 401(k) still parked with a former employer, two funds holding the same stocks, a beneficiary line that still names an ex-spouse. You get those findings in writing with copies of the source pages, then a record of each change once it is made. That file carries through retirement planning, investment management, legacy planning and the rest of our services.
New Jersey Rules That Shape a Financial Plan
- 01
Living in New Jersey, working in New York
Plenty of clients commute to Manhattan. Wages earned there are taxed by New York first, and New Jersey generally credits the tax paid to New York on your resident return. Withholding between the two states often drifts out of balance, so we check it during tax management reviews before it turns into a surprise in April.
- 02
Property taxes and cash flow
New Jersey property taxes are among the highest in the country, and they tend to climb over time. We model that line as a rising cost in retirement projections instead of a fixed one, because it often decides whether a client stays put or downsizes.
- 03
Inheritance tax, not estate tax
New Jersey repealed its estate tax in 2018 but kept its inheritance tax. Spouses, children and grandchildren are exempt, while siblings, nieces, nephews and friends can owe it depending on the amount they receive. That split changes how we set up beneficiary designations and trusts in legacy planning.
- 04
Retirement income at the state level
The state offers an exclusion for pension and retirement income to residents who meet age and income limits, and it does not tax Social Security. Where you fall against those limits affects which accounts we draw from first.
