About My Practice
Tim Estes, a Fort Worth-based financial planner with CFP and ChFEBC designations, is ready to help the retiring federal worker. The distinct certification of Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant (ChFEBC) was earned by undergoing an intensive training course specifically geared towards the needs of the federal employee: Retirement Pensions (including those for air traffic controllers, reservists, firefighters, law enforcement personnel), federal life insurance, federal long-term care and more. As a ChFEBC, Tim is an expert in Federal Benefits and how to maximize them effectively.
Tim understands the relationship of between federal benefits and civilian ones, such as a 401k equivalent to the Thrift Savings Plan, or Group Life to FEGLI. This is important when coordinating benefits of a federal retiree with a retiring non-fed spouse, for example. Tim can tell a client 1) if he or she can retire, 2) when retirement can realistically take place, and 3) what financial requirements need to be in place for retirement to happen. His advanced software provides a retirement assessment, allowing clients to know within pennies how much they will receive in retirement, depending on when they retire, based on their federal pension, years of service and pay grade.
Tim served his country proudly with over 21 years of Naval Service, both on active duty and in the reserves. He retired from service as a Commander in 1999. He is a life-long member of the Episcopal Church. Tim lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with his wife Julie.
