A8 www.greenriverstar.com Thursday, April 15, 2021 People Firefighter named Volunteer of the Year By DAVID MARTIN Editor

For more than 22 years, Tom Murphy has worked to make Green River a better place. More most, especially Green River’s youth, Murphy is known for his work as a volunteer firefighter with the city’s fire department. Hundreds of children have heard him talk about fire safety in the city’s schools and at public events. Murphy said it isn’t unusual for a child to walk up to him and tell them how much they remember from his presentations. Murphy recalls one child getting so excited when seeing him after a fire safety talk they ran up to him and gave him a tight hug as the child’s parents tried to figure out how Murphy knew their kid. It was through the fire department that Murphy organized the birthday drive-by visits for people celebrating their birthdays during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown. Firefighters, along with emergency responders from Castle Rock Hospital District, the Green River Police Department and the Sweetwater Sheriff’s Office, would drive by the homes of people who couldn’t celebrate their birthday in a more traditional manner. While the visits were short lived, they made an impression on the people young and old who experienced them. Murphy said it was originally aimed at children, but the firefighters ended up fulfilling a few requests to visit teens and adults. During those visits, Murphy said they firefighters would aid in the light-hearted ribbing the parents or spouses of the birthday person were initiating. It was all in good fun. Fire prevention and the department’s activities are not the only causes on Murphy’s plate. He and his wife head up the biennial Green River Pond and Garden Tour, using it as a means to raise money for various causes, including medical procedures and memorials. Some older children may remember visiting his house on Halloween and receiving a full-sized toy when visiting the Murphy home. Murphy also frequently donates toys to various toy drives, hoping he can help bring a smile to a Tom Murphy holds his Volunteer of the Year award during a recent visit to the Green River Chamber of child’s face.

Help protect your FamilyÕs inHeritance We’re here to help, with Wattsmart® tools that can help you save money, You might contribute to your IRA for decades to help pay for your retirement. But if you donÕt need all the money, you may want to resources and insights to help you manage your budget, rebates on energy- leave whatÕs left to your children or grandchildren. However, if you want to ensure they get the most from this inheritance, youÕll need efficient upgrades—and efficiency offerings that meet you where you are to do some planning. HereÕs a little background: Up until a couple of years ago, when you and power the greatness in all that you do. left the proceeds of your IRA to your beneficiaries, they could choose to ÒstretchÓ required withdrawals over a long period, based on their life expectancies. These required withdrawals were generally taxable, To learn more about all of our offerings, visitWattsmart.com . so this “stretch IRA” allowed your beneficiaries to greatly reduce the annual taxes due, while benefiting from longer tax-deferred growth potential. And the younger the beneficiary, the longer the life expec - tancy and the lower the withdrawals, so this technique would have been especially valuable for your grandchildren or even great-grand- children. Changes in laws affecting retirement accounts have significantly limited the stretch IRA strategy. Now, most non-spouse beneficiaries must withdraw all assets from the IRA within 10 years of the IRA owner’s death. The beneficiary generally does not have to take out any money during that 10-year period, but at the end of it, the entire balance must be withdrawn Ð and that could result in a pretty big tax bill. The stretch IRA strategy can still be used for surviving spouses, ben- eficiaries who are no more than 10 years younger than the deceased IRA owner, and beneficiaries who are chronically ill or disabled. Minor children of the original account owner are also eligible for a stretch IRA Ð but only until they reach the age of majority, at which time the 10-year rule applies. So, if you want to leave your IRA to family members who donÕt meet any of the above exceptions, what can you do? One possibility is a Roth IRA conversion. You could convert a tra- ditional IRA to a Roth IRA over your lifetime, so your heirs would receive the Roth IRA. They would still be required to withdraw the assets within 10 years, but unlike with a traditional IRA, Roth IRA withdrawals are generally tax-free. These conversions are taxable, so you’ll want to consult your tax professional in addition to your finan- cial advisor, to determine if this strategy can help you achieve your legacy goals. Another option is to purchase life insurance, which can provide a spe- cific dollar amount to your heirs or be used to help cover additional taxes. This may be especially advantageous if you are 72 or older, in good health, and taking withdrawals Ð technically called required minimum distributions Ð from your retirement accounts, such as your traditional IRA and your 401(k). If you donÕt really need the money, you can use these withdrawals to pay for some or all of the in- surance premiums. Life insurance canÕt replace an IRA as a means to save for retirement, though, so you should consult with your financial advisor to make sure you are working toward all your goals. In any case, if you have a sizable IRA or you donÕt need the funds that youÕre required to take from your retirement accounts, you may want to start thinking about what you want to do with the money. The more thorough your legacy planning, the better your chances of meeting your legacy goals. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
