You are a graduate financial planner and have been sitting on client interviews with a more Senior Financial Planner. As part of this process you have been recording notes and collaborating on any strategy development with the Senior Financial Planner. David & Karen Rubble are new clients and have come to you early in the financial year seeking your advice in regards to their pending retirement. After a fact-finding session you uncover that David is 61 years old and is married to Karen who is also 61 years old. They are both employed. Karen works as a Nurse and earns a gross salary of $80,000 per annum. David is an engineer and earns a gross salary of $180,000 per annum. Their goal is to both retire within the next twelve months. They would like to receive a combined income of $80,000 in retirement to meet their living expenses. They wish to minimise tax both now and along the way and want to ensure their capital lasts throughout retirement and keeps pace with inflation. To some degree they would like to pass on some capital to their children and grandchildren.

David said Were unhappy with the investment properties, and we're now thinking of placing the investment property on the market. He then went onto to say I'm going to sell the Managed Funds in April and hope to sell it by the end of this financial year, but I'm open to any suggestions''. Identify and discuss, any strategies, the issues they face if they do decide to sell the property and or managed funds, and what are some solutions for managing any problems they face in relation to the sale of these assets.
