Brandon founded Ayers Rock Planning, Inc. to help clients reduce risk in their lives. Risk of loss of income from sudden illness. Risk of loss of savings from terrible sicknesses. Risk of loss to increased taxes that can sap a life’s savings in retirement. Brandon’s perspective as an attorney with years of experience organizing legacies through legal documents allows him to provide a bit of a different view to clients than other professionals without that experience. Too many people react to ideas by saying, “No!” instead of asking, “How?” and this key difference in perspective can mean a world of difference when it comes to someone’s money, legacy, and happiness in life.
