*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. The minimum balance to open and earn 3.85% APY on a 22-month CD is $500. Upon maturity, the 22-month CD will revert to a regular 24-month CD and will earn the APY in effect at the time. A penalty equal to 90 days of interest will be assessed on early withdrawals for CD terms of 12 months or less, and a penalty equal to 180 days of interest will be assessed for CD terms over 12 months. This includes interest-only withdrawals. Penalties could reduce earnings and principal. IRA certificates are subject to the same penalties and may be subject to additional early withdrawal penalties. Promotional rates are effective as of July 1, 2025. Rates are subject to change without notice. Certain conditions and restrictions may apply.

Plan Today, For Tomorrow!

Life is full of surprises—whether it’s starting a business, retiring or experiencing a major life change, your financial situation can shift quickly. That’s why it’s crucial to plan ahead and protect your loved ones and assets.

At Partner Colorado, we make estate planning simple and affordable to give you peace of mind.

Will vs. Trust—What’s Right for You?
Our two most popular options are the Will Package and the Revocable Living Trust Package.*
• A will directs the court on how to distribute your assets after death.
• A trust appoints a trustee to manage and distribute your assets directly to beneficiaries. Both are effective tools—learn more about which fits your needs best.

Keep Your Plan Updated
Life changes, and so should your estate plan. Regular updates, including handling digital assets and tax planning, are key to avoiding common pitfalls.

Choose the Right Executor or Trustee
Pick someone you trust to carry out your wishes—it’s a vital part of the process.

We’re here to help you protect what matters most. Click here to get started with estate planning today.
