Listen Later

A live & interactive discussion that will dive into legal planning, challenges, and solutions for current and future solo agers! Co-hosted by Carol Marak, Author of Solo and Smart 

Featuring: JOSHUA D. WINGER, Attorney Byrd & Byrd, Attorneys at Law

Questions answered in the discussion:

  • As a solo ager with no people to whom I want/need to leave money, but also no one to take care of me, the challenge is how to plan the spend down of my wealth.  Ideally I would spend the last penny as I jump in my grave.  Annuities have, in my view, lots of complications and restrictions and other problems.
  • Banks:  What if you have $1 million but it is in real estate?  Do banks require $1 million in liquid assets?
  • Steve, Please tell us the expeted duration of this Webinar.
  • If you have more than one back up successor, how do they make decisions if they disagree?
  • Please address options for those of us with no savings, assets (other than house with mortgage for 80% of house) or retirement beyond Social Security...
  • I have a health care agent plus a backup.  If I add more, with sequencing, do I have to redo the document and must it be notarized?
  • So on safe desposit box you can name someone who can have access only if you die or are declared incompetent?
  • I have been told most banks will not accept my general power of attorney, but require their own forms.  True?
  • Revocaable Trust, does a general statement that " I hereby put all of my property in my trust," does this title the property to the trust?Thank you so much
  • If you have already added your children to a bank account to handle things in an emergency situation should I try to undo that?
  • This is much more of a problem as we have shifted from defined benefit to defined cost pension plans.
  • Thank you!
  • What about a pour over willl to the trust?
  • What time is Medicaid Monday at Byrd and Byrd?
