This page lists other planning professionals you can turn to for assistance.  Names and contact information is entered by geographic region. 

Please keep in mind that George Coughlin is NOT responsible for, and does not supervise, the recommendations of other advisors.  Any tax, investment or insurance advice as well as recommendations to purchase or sell securities you receive from another advisor listed on this page does NOT involve George Coughlin or his broker/dealer ePLANNING Securities, Inc.  

Fortunately, there is a growing number of skilled distribution planners throughout the country.  However, only a few appear on this page.   The names you see in this directory belong to individuals with whom the author has developed a professional rapport.  While their training and experience varies, each is qualified to help you avoid the quicksand surrounding required distributions from qualified retirement plans, IRA's and TSA's.
