Living in Retirement - Anna
  • Age 72, widow
  • Lived in same house for 30 years
  • Hears about an estate problem
  • Realizes she might have the same problem

 

Anna's son, Scott had just talked with their lawyer, and was shocked by how much his wife, Ellen, owed in taxes on her parents' estate. "Remember that summer house on the beach?" said Scott.

"So to pay the inheritance taxes, you may have to sell the house," said Anna. "Exactly," said Scott.

She needed a financial planner as much as Scott and Ellen did!
