It’s never too soon to start saving for retirement or to plan how your wealth will benefit the people and causes you care about most. Whether you’re building your nest egg, managing assets, or preparing to pass on your legacy, Lowell Five Bank and our partners at KAF Wealth Management, LLC and Lincoln Investment provide guidance and tools to help you make informed decisions. Together, we create a personalized financial plan that aligns with your goals, balances growth and security, and ensures your financial future and your legacy are protected for years to come.
How We Can Help
Estimate how much you’ll need in retirement to maintain the lifestyle you want.
Create a diversified retirement strategy.
Plan for unexpected events, health-care needs, or long-term care.
Organize your estate to ensure your legacy is preserved.
Coordinate retirement accounts, insurance policies, and other assets so that your entire financial picture works together efficiently.
Financial Wellness Check
Planning begins by understanding your financial picture. Start by scheduling time with a Lowell Five Bank Financial Planning Advisor. We can help assess your goals, investments, and readiness for the future with a wellness check.
Planning for retirement is about creating the future you want. A retirement plan will outline strategies to help you build and sustain assets to allow for more income in retirement and a more comfortable future. The earlier you start, the more time your savings have to grow, and the greater flexibility you’ll have when life changes. Whether you’re just getting started or refining your long-term plan, our advisors can help you build a strategy that supports your goals today and tomorrow.
Start by thinking through your priorities:
When do you want to retire?
What will retirement look like—travel, relocation, or pursuing a passion?
Will you have enough income to support your lifestyle?
What bills will remain?
When should you begin claiming Social Security, especially if you’re married and your spouse is a different age?
What investment types are best for you?
If you’re unsure where to begin, the experienced professionals at Lowell Five Bank, KAF Wealth Management, LLC, and Lincoln Investment* can help guide you.
Estate planning is about more than distributing assets. It’s about preserving your legacy and ensuring your wishes are honored. Estate plans also consider how your financial choices reflect your values—whether that means supporting family, contributing to your community, or ensuring your business transitions smoothly.
In partnership with KAF Wealth Management, Lowell Five Bank helps you address all aspects of your estate plan, including:
Wills and trusts
Health care proxies and directives
Gifting and charitable giving
Asset preservation and insurance options
Reducing estate tax liability
Estimating healthcare and long-term care costs
Coordinating personal and business estate plans
KAF’s relationships with expert tax advisors and estate attorneys ensure a thorough review of your plan. If you already have documents or an estate plan in place, KAF can review them to ensure they align with current laws and your goals.
