In this month’s financial planning advice, we look at how retirees are helping families during their lifetime, rather than traditionally passing wealth to families after their death. When you planned to retire, did your plans look like this?
A woman in the USA was recently charged with the abuse of a corpse for digging up her father’s grave in search of his ‘real will’. When opened, the casket revealed his remains, a stash of vodka and cigarettes, but no will. The woman told police she had been prompted to act after she had not received anything when her father died in 2004.
