LGBTQ+ Planning


At Gussick & Barnett Financial Planning, we understand the unique planning needs that may arise for LGBTQ+ singles and couples, including:


  •  Marriage Equality and Tax Considerations
  •  Additional Costs of Planning for a Family
  •  Financial Impacts of Discrimination

With us, you can always feel comfortable being your authentic self, which allows us to have the most open, honest, and complete discussions about your financial journey.


Planning for a Surviving Spouse


At a time when you're faced with grief, fear, and uncertainty, you will need to make calm, thoughtful decisions for your family and your life. 


While only time will help to ease your grief, at Gussick & Barnett Financial Planning, our goal is to help relieve stress, create balance, and provide trusted, comforting guidance in a way that builds confidence, and helps you regain a sense of control and well-being.


"We cannot control our destiny, but we can control who we become."  -Anne Frank
