Question

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FAMILY DESCRIPTION Alan and Angel Young are both 36 years old. Mr. Young recently accepted a new job making $93,000 a year and Mrs. Young is currently unemployed. The Youngs have one children (newborn), a dog, and a Maine Coon cat. Angel is also highly educated in literature and law from prestigious universities. They are both licensed lawyers. The Youngs have been married for eight years. The Extended Family Mr. Young has a mother in her 60s, who is living far away and is modestly self-sufficient. He also has two siblings who are both married and self-sufficient. Alan inherited $400,000 from his late Uncle Fred, who was 100 years old when he died and had worked every day of his life. He has dwindled this inheritance down to $200,000. Mrs. Young has one brother who is married to a wealthy entrepreneur and they have two children. Angel’s mother is a pharmaceutical distributor and lives in another state. She is 60 years old and modestly self- sufficient. Angel’s father lives in the same town as the Youngs and her brother. He is self-sufficient, healthy, and has the utmost faith that the Youngs will become productive members of society. Angel’s Father (Trust #1) Angel’s father set up a trust for the benefit of Mrs. Young. Her brother is the trustee, but the trust is really controlled by her father. The trust regularly distributes $30,000 per year to Angel and from time to time, invades the corpus to buy her a new car or give her money for nonessentials. The balance in the trust is $700,000 and it has an average earnings rate of about 8.5% per year for the last ten years. The trust balance is growing, but there is no sign that distributions will increase. GOALS & CONCERNS 1. They want to have a proper insurance, investment, and estates portfolio. 2. They want their taxes analyzed. 3. They want to know the cost of college education for the newborn, expected to go to college in 18 years, so they can approach Angel’s father about fully funding 529 Plans college savings plan. The current cost of education is $20,000 per year in today’s dollars and the inflation rate is expected to be 7%, while general inflation is 3%. They will fund 5 years of education, and while they don’t know, they expect the 529 Plan’s investment rate of return to be 10%. 4. They want to plan for an early retirement (100% wage replacement ratio, excluding the trust income) at age 62, as they want to spend the autumn of their lives together traveling and visiting friends and family. Alan plans to save $18,000 per year in a 401(k) plan starting this year and to have an employer match of $6,000. They expect to live to age 90. 5. As neither of the Youngs currently have 40 quarters of Social Security earnings and because they are planning to retire at age 62, they do not want to include any Social Security retirement benefits in their planning. 6. They want to be debt free at retirement. INTERNAL INFORMATION THE RESIDENCE The current value of the residence is $550,000. The balance of the 30-year mortgage at 5.5% is $260,514.
