Someone I care for is moving to an Assisted Living Center. They are 80 and on oxygen.
They would like to know how to liquidate their mutual fund assets (made up mostly of bonds and some more agressive stocks) that equate to about 150,000.
They own a house worth 200,000.
Cash is about 120,000.
How would you liquidate the mutual funds (only the agressive ones and leave the rest in bonds alone?) Liquidate them all to a money market account? Waht are the tax implications?
Looking for advice before seeking professional advice (but the only one they know manages their funds and probably only cares about the commission lost).
Thank you
