Legacy Club | July 19th, 2025 | Culver City | RECAP
Chip Sroufe of @coregroup.usa delivered a wake-up call that cut through the noise: long-term care isn’t just a possibility—it’s a near certainty for millions of aging Americans. And failing to plan for it can quietly dismantle even the most carefully built legacy.
With clarity, empathy, and real-world financial insight, Chip walked attendees through the hard numbers:
“70% of people over the age of 65 will need some form of long-term care, and most aren’t financially or emotionally prepared for the impact it brings.”
He explored the staggering average costs—ranging from $5,000 to $12,000 per month depending on the level of care and region—and shared how those expenses, left unprotected, can erode retirement savings, burden family members, and force difficult decisions.
But Chip didn’t just focus on the problem—he offered the plan.
Through a breakdown of modern long-term care solutions, from hybrid insurance products to tax-smart strategies and asset-based policies, he emphasized that protecting your future isn’t just about money—it’s about preserving freedom, dignity, and choice.
“Planning for care means staying in control of your life. It means your kids don’t have to scramble, your spouse doesn’t have to choose between love and logistics, and your values stay intact no matter what life throws your way.”
Attendees left not only with practical takeaways, but with a deeper sense of urgency and empowerment. Chip’s message was clear: the best time to plan for long-term care is before you need it—and the Legacy Club exists to help make that possible.

What If I Die Without a Will or Trust?
Here’s what your family can expect:
- Delays of 9–18 months in court.
- Thousands in legal fees and probate costs.
- Public exposure of your assets and heirs.
- A judge deciding who raises your children.
That’s the reality for over half of Americans. But it doesn’t have to be yours.

Final Thoughts: Wills + Trusts = True Protection
The Revocable Trust is the gold standard for modern estate planning. It avoids probate, allows for custom provisions, and protects your loved ones long after you’re gone. But the Will? It’s your final safety net.
A Will:
- Names guardians for minor children
- Covers forgotten assets
- Supports personal property designations
- Protects against Trust invalidity
No serious estate plan is complete without one.
