Edward Jones-Financial Advisor: Jeff Barnes

Call Directions Website

Edward Jones-Financial Advisor: Jeff Barnes At Edward Jones we do money differently. What does that really mean to clients in our office? We appreciate being a part of all our client's families.

While we use investments and other financial instruments as our primary tools to help clients build sound long-term financial strategies, our secret sauce is truly understanding our clients - their needs, their wants, and their relationship with money. Its value comes not from a dollar figure, but from the goals, accomplishments and dreams that it facilitates. We specialize in advanced wealth strategies for clients with complex needs. They may be successful professionals, business owners, and retirees living their best retirement life. Through our comprehensive financial planning process, we deliver creative strategies to help clients protect, and transition assets, including estate transfers, cross-border accounts, business owner retirement, generational family gifts and charitable giving – with both taxes and time in mind. My client support team member, Kendra Mitchell and I work with you to create your own unique financial plan. To us, each client is special and our relationships are important above all else. From our Bracebridge office we serve clients across Muskoka, from Huntsville and Lake of Bays to Gravenhurst, Bala, and Port Carling. Through client connections and referrals, we also have valued clients across Ontario and I am also licensed in Alberta. I met my wife when I moved to Muskoka 30 years ago, and we have raised two great children here. We are an active family and I am on the board of directors for Muskoka Community Foundation. For us, enjoying family time often looks like skiing in the winter and boating in the summer, and of course a little hiking in the woods with our dog, Sadie. Retiring in Muskoka, or retiring to Muskoka – it is a pretty special place. Drop in for a coffee or give us a call, we are happy to chat about helping you achieve your vision. Call 249-299-0522 , stop by my office, or visit www.edwardjones.com/Jeff-Barnes for more information.

If you're planning to move in with your partner, you might be wondering what a cohabitation agreement actually is. Think of it as a clear, written understanding of how you'll handle finances, property, and responsibilities while living together.

A cohabitation agreement typically covers practical questions like:
• Who's responsible for the mortgage or rent?
• How will you split ongoing bills and utilities? What happens to property you each owned before moving in together, or things you buy jointly?
• How will you handle existing debt, and who's responsible for debt you take on together?

The goal isn't to plan for the worst. It's to create clarity so you can focus on building your life together without financial uncertainty getting in the way.

If you're considering moving in with your partner and want to understand how a cohabitation agreement fits into your broader financial picture, let's talk. I can help you think through the financial decisions that matter most.

Edward Jones financial advisors are not lawyers and cannot provide legal advice. A cohabitation agreement is a legally binding document that should be created with the assistance of a qualified lawyer or legal professional. We can help you understand how your financial decisions today connect to your long-term goals and work alongside your legal advisor to support your overall financial strategy.

Do you need a cohabitation agreement? And if so, what should it include? Before we answer those questions, let's first ask, what is a cohabitation agreement?

Where you hold your investments can be just as important as what you invest in. Asset location is a strategy that helps place investments in the accounts that may offer the greatest tax efficiency, helping you keep more of what you earn over time.

A thoughtful approach can make a meaningful difference to your long-term financial goals.

If you have questions about whether your portfolio is tax efficient, reach out to me or book a call to discuss your options.
