About Me
Woldine is a dedicated financial planner driven by a commitment to helping families and businesses build resilience and secure their financial futures. Her passion is deeply personal. It stems from witnessing the immense financial strain her family endured while caring for her mother during her final battle with pancreatic cancer, and the heartbreaking experience of her brother-in-law passing away without a financial safety net for his two children.
This experience fuels her mission to ensure her clients are prepared for life's biggest challenges—expected and unexpected. Outside of her practice, Woldine lives for her family and dedicates time to the community as a board member for EDEYOUTH, a non-profit organization focused on providing financial literacy and essential skills to youth and young adults. To recharge, you can find her hiking in nature, singing, or dancing.
Mission Statement
To empower individuals and families with the knowledge, planning, and resources necessary to achieve lasting financial security and peace of mind, ensuring that life's unforeseen challenges never compromise their care, dignity, or legacy.
Q&A with Woldine Petit
What is the difference between a beneficiary and a contingent beneficiary?
Answer: Hello there,
Great question. Think of the beneficiary as the primary (first) person to receive the assets. In the case of a life insurance, the beneficiary would receive the death benefit.
Contingent beneficiary is the backup who gets the assets/death benefit only if the primary beneficiary can’t. So, in cases like, a beneficiary passing away or being mentally incapacitated.
What questions should a first-time life insurance buyer ask their agent?
Answer: As an insurance producing professional, I think it's important for clients to understand what insurance product is best for their financial plan. There are so many vehicles out there, all are not created equal. Here are a few questions to ask your agent:
*What type of policy is best for me (term vs. whole)?
* Can I use my policy to pay for long-term care cost that Medicaid and Medicare don't cover?
* How much coverage do I need where my family will not have to worry about selling off hard assets?
* Can I change or update my policy later?
* Are there any fees or penalties (e.g., for early cancellation)? and will my premium increase overtime?
