GRFTFS: Can I Retire When I Get My Pension?
The Get Ready For The Future Show
<p>"I’m 64 and retiring soon. I have the option to take a lump sum from my pension or monthly payments for life. How do I evaluate which one is better for us?" We're answering YOUR questions on this week's Get Ready For The Future Show!</p>
<ul>
<li>We’re 67 and 65 and just paid off our house. We’ve heard that having a trust avoids probate, but our estate isn’t that complicated. How do we know if a trust is worth the cost?</li>
<li>We’re in our early 60s and plan to sell a rental property in a few years. Should we be thinking about capital gains tax planning now, or wait until we’re ready to sell?</li>
<li>I’m 61 and recently divorced. I’m keeping the house, but it’s still got a mortgage, and I have about $500,000 in retirement accounts. How do I rebuild my plan now that I’m on my own?</li>
</ul>
