In the late 1980s, Carsten Richter, from Germany, migrated to the United States, where he is now a citizen. A man of many talents and deep foresight, he has built a large fleet of oceangoing oil tankers during his stay in the United States. Now a wealthy man in his 60s, he resides in Aspen, Colorado, with his second wife, Gabriela, age 50. They have two sons, one in junior high and one a high-school freshman. For some time, Carsten has considered preparing a will to ensure that his estate will be property distributed when he dies. A survey of his estate reveals the following:
Ranch in Colorado $1,000,000
Condominium in Santa Barbara 800,000
House in Aspen 1,500,000
Franchise in ice cream stores 2,000,000
Stock in Google 5,000,000
Stock in Wal-Mart 1,000,000
Stock in Silver Mines International 3,000,000
Other assets 200,000
Total Assets $14,500,000
