REVIEW WHAT YOU HAVE
Check my present policyReview my last two years of taxesTax, Medicare & high-income updatesMeet your teamWorkshops & appointmentsRetirement account transitions
Leaving a job, retiring from service, or consolidating old accounts?
A move involving a 401(k), TSP, 403(b), or IRA can affect taxes, access to money, investment choices, beneficiary planning, and future income. We help you compare the choices before you sign anything.
- Keep assets in the current plan when permitted
- Move to a new employer plan if accepted
- Transfer to an IRA for different control or choices
- Take a distribution and understand the tax consequences
A transfer is not automatically the right answer. Fees, protections, withdrawal rules, investment options, and tax effects must be compared.
Transition review
Five questions we answer together
- 01What accounts and benefits do you already have?
- 02When will you need income—and how much?
- 03What taxes could the move create now or later?
- 04What guarantees, flexibility, and costs matter?
- 05How should beneficiaries and your spouse be protected?
For military and federal families
Your TSP is only one part of the transition.
Military retirement, a new civilian salary, a spouse’s income, VA benefits, Social Security, and future RMDs can stack together. We organize the whole picture before discussing a TSP transfer.
Career transition
Coordinate TSP choices with a new employer plan and near-term cash needs.
Income stacking
See how pensions, wages, benefits, and future withdrawals may interact.
Family readiness
Review survivor needs, beneficiaries, life coverage, and access to funds.
Padua Financial Services, LLC and Padua Insurance Agency are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, the U.S. government, or any military branch.
Events & seminars
Live education for military and law-enforcement families.
Join the priority invitation list for upcoming Google Meet, in-person, and hybrid sessions covering TSP decisions, pensions, deferred compensation, taxes, survivor protection, and career transitions.
Life insurance · Families & businesses
Protect the people. Protect the plans.
A new baby, a home purchase, a growing business or a child’s education can change what your family needs. Life insurance can provide money and time when a household loses someone it depends on.

FAMILY PROTECTION & LEGACY
Special Needs Trust Funding
Plan for a loved one’s care and quality of life, today and in the years ahead. We help families explore whether life insurance could support the funding of a special needs trust, coordinating insurance planning with a qualified special needs attorney.
Trust terms, beneficiary designations and distributions need careful review because they can affect eligibility for needs-based benefits. Padua Financial Services, LLC provides funding guidance; a qualified attorney prepares and reviews the trust and its legal requirements.

Important disclosures
This website provides general educational information and is not individualized tax, legal, or investment advice. Consult the appropriate professional regarding your circumstances.
Insurance and annuity guarantees depend on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. Products may include charges, surrender periods, limitations, exclusions, and tax consequences.
Indexed universal life is life insurance, not a direct investment in a market index. Policy loans and withdrawals may reduce cash value and death benefits and may cause lapse or tax consequences.
We do not offer variable insurance products. Product availability, features, carrier appointments, and producer licensing vary by state.
We do not offer every Medicare plan available in every area. Information provided is limited to plans represented. Contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE for all options.
Nothing on this site guarantees future performance, tax savings, income, or suitability. A complete review is required before any recommendation.
