The Widow Tax™
The Widow Tax™
John & Sarah Raymond were retiring this year. John worked as the lead architect at a mid-sized firm for much of his career, and Sarah was a librarian at the high school their children attended and graduated from when they were younger. When we met with the Raymonds, our initial meeting progressed as many do with an introduction to our firm and our staff, a discussion of the Wealth Management Solutions Investment Philosophy, and a request for insight into John & Sarah's goals for retirement. After talk of travel and more time with grandkids, John became silent and paused to reflect on a concern that weighed heavily on his mind. Would Sarah be okay, financially, after he passed away?

A Young Man Inherits His Share
Income of $70,000 leads to a 45% tax hit
We were introduced to Michael Wilder, a 34 year old who had inherited his share of his grandparent's estate within the last year. Under the ownership of his Grandfather Russ Wilder, the portfolio held mostly Master Limited Partnerships (MLP's) which provided a stream of income in retirement. Obviously, this had not been the entirety of Michael's grandfather's holdings, but this was the account and portion that Michael had inherited – close to $1.5Million.

Tom was a Director of Technology for a large bank and Elizabeth worked for the Arizona Diamondbacks back office as a travel coordinator. Tom and Elizabeth were about to retire, and they needed help with the 401(k) accounts they had saved up for the last 20 years. Spending time with their children, and their grandchildren, was beginning to be much more attractive than heading into work each day. Now that Tom and Elizabeth were at retirement's doorstep, they had been thinking about all of the changes and choices available to them when they stopped working. The four main issues they needed guidance with included possibly paying off their mortgage, maintaining their current lifestyle, travel more often now that their schedules were freed up, and possibly keeping their second home - at least for a few more years.

Recognizing that the goals of the individual would be a key driver to the ultimate success, we knew that any recommendations would require some creative thinking to find the right solution.
