A Tusculum Professor Planning for Phased Retirement
The Situation
A 58-year-old Tusculum University professor has $420K across three TIAA accounts, expects to receive Social Security, and is considering phased retirement starting at 63. They also own 50 acres of family farmland in Greene County that they want to pass to their children without triggering a large tax bill.
How We Might Approach This
We might start by consolidating the TIAA account analysis — evaluating whether to annuitize, roll over, or take systematic withdrawals. Then we'd model the phased retirement income gap, identify Roth conversion opportunities during the reduced-income years, and coordinate with a local attorney on a farm transfer strategy that uses the stepped-up basis at death or a lifetime gifting approach depending on the family's goals.
