Expert Solution
Step 1: The breakdown of the assets that Tammy will inherit

Here is the breakdown of the assets that Tammy will inherit:

  • Max's 401(k): $250,000
  • Alicia's 403(b): $0 (since the beneficiary is Max)
  • House: $0 (since the asset is owned as TbyE, it will pass to the surviving spouse)
  • Vacation home: $0 (since the asset is owned as JTWROS, it will pass to Max's sister Ava)
  • Mutual fund account: $0 (since the asset is owned as TIC, it will pass to the surviving spouse)
  • Bond portfolio: $300,000 (half of the asset will pass to Max's sister Ava, and the other half will pass to Tammy)
