  • 529 college savings plans: These plans grow tax deferred, and some plans allow for tax-free fund withdrawal, as long as the money is used for qualified higher education expenses. Unlike other plans, 529 plans can allow for sizeable contributions.

  • Non-qualified investment accounts: Distributions can be taken without penalty, even if the monies are used for something other than education. These accounts can be used to start a business, as a down-payment on a home, for a wedding, or as a jump-start toward retirement.

  • UGMA/UTMA: These accounts are similar to non-qualified investment accounts, but the income generated from the investments is taxed to the minor.

“Jason is a true gentleman and such a professional in all of the skills that could describe a business person that works for the customer first. He always puts himself as well as his personal life to the side. I have never seen a business person and a friend care for his clients the way that he does.”
