McBeath Financial Group is proud to present our very first guest speaker sharing his expertise in Estate Planning!  In this featured interview video, Estate Planning Attorney Chad Ritchie of Ritchie Law Office, Ltd covers topics of importance for life, family and legacy.

Since the inception of the new McBeath Financial Focus Series, the vision has been to feature McLean County's premiere experts in fields relating to finances and retirement. As you know, McBeath Financial Group specializes in retirement planning, insurance and taxes.  Although financial planning builds a strong foundation, sometimes other experts are recommended for a more comprehensive plan.  In these instances, recommendations outside our field of expertise are needed.  Chad Ritchie is one of those key individuals that’s often relied upon for estate planning.  Therefore, we are extremely excited to have him as our very first featured guest, covering a topic that so often overlaps with financial planning.
