Charges are being considered against the sister of a 76-year-old Denton woman who was the subject of a statewide Silver Alert and was found safe early Tuesday at a hotel in Houghton Lake, Michigan, according to the Denton Police Department. Karen May Taube CBS News Texas Karen May Taube was located with her sister, Eva Haron, who allegedly removed her from an assisted living facility without legal consent, police said. Unauthorized removal under review Denton police and the Denton County District Attorney's Office are reviewing potential charges against Haron for allegedly interfering with the legal rights of a court-appointed guardian by removing Taube from Willow Bend Assisted Living & Memory Care on May 12. Authorities said Taube is under court-appointed guardianship, which does not authorize contact with Haron. Woman evaluated at hospital, returning to Denton Taube was located and positively identified at the hotel by the Roscommon County Sheriff's Department. Investigators had believed she and Haron were traveling together in a white Ford F-150, though Taube was not considered to be in immediate danger.

The Dallas FBI assisted in the search.

3 critical long-term care insurance questions seniors should be asking now
Seniors should calculate their current bills, as well as what they could be in the future, to better determine their long-term care insurance needs and never too early to plan for your retirement years. And while it's never too late to do so, either, waiting can come with a combination of higher premium costs and less comprehensive coverage plans, so it's generally better to get started earlier. This concern becomes more pronounced for seniors and older adults who may have less flexibility in their budgets. And it's particularly prevalent now, after years of elevated inflation and interest rates combined with stock market volatility likely damaged their retirement funds and plans for their golden years. For these seniors, in particular, it may be time to start exploring insurance plans that can help cover the inevitable costs to come. Long-term care insurance can be one of those worth considering now. This unique insurance type can cover the costs of assisted living facilities, nursing home and even in-home caretakers for those who want to age in the comfort of their own home. But knowing whether this type of insurance is appropriate for you won't necessarily be clear. It will require a bit of research and, just as importantly, having the answers to some timely but critical long-term care insurance questions. Below, we'll break down three that seniors should be asking right now. Start by getting a free long-term care insurance price quote here. 3 critical long-term care insurance questions seniors should be asking now Here are three important (and timely) long-term care insurance questions seniors should be contemplating the answers to now: Have my retirement savings changed? Market volatility in the opening months of 2025 could have easily impacted your retirement savings and long-term financial plans. If you're one of those who have seen your investment funds decline and don't have a clear way to rebuild those funds promptly, long-term care insurance may make sense. With little funding left to pay for items like nursing homes or an in-home caretaker, it may make sense to use the money you do have strategically by shoring up your insurance protections instead. Just be sure to weigh the costs of a plan closely against the costs of paying out-of-pocket to determine which makes more financial sense, both now and when you ultimately will need the services. Compare your long-term care insurance offers here to learn more. Have my retirement plans changed? Market changes, Social Security cost-of-living adjustments and your plans could have all combined to impact your initial retirement plans. Additionally, the death of a spouse or the loss of a steady retirement income stream could also change the plans from aging at home to the need to move into an assisted living facility or nursing home. And if you need either, it will come at an expense and both will cost more in the future than they do now. In these circumstances, when retirement plans have changed but the financing isn't there to support that reality, a long-term care insurance plan can help. And if you secure a plan now, when costs are more reasonable and coverage potentially more robust, you'll have it ready to go when needed. Should I delay securing a long-term care insurance plan? It's understandable and may even seem counterintuitive to add an extra bill to the rotation each month if you're budget is already stretched. And long-term care insurance will be another bill, no matter how it's viewed. But is it smart to delay securing a long-term care insurance plan, either, especially considering the state of the economy and unpredictable changes still to come? No one can truly answer this question except you. It's worth closely examining the costs of a plan versus the costs you'll have to pay in the future, however, to better determine value. And it's critical to remember that delays in securing insurance protections seldom work out in a cost-effective way that benefits the insured. So, closely examine the pros and cons of delaying this type of insurance. For many, it may be advantageous to just start now. The bottom line Seniors and older adults often have a limited budget and what can appear to be an unlimited number of items to spend it on. It's critical, then, that each item be valuable both immediately and in the future. Long-term care insurance can often provide that value and it can help cover the costs of care that many seniors would otherwise have to pay on their own or, worse, have to forego altogether. But it is another bill that will need to be accounted for. So it's worth researching plans, prices and companies to determine if it makes sense for you. Having the answers to the above three questions is a good starting point. Learn more about your long-term care insurance options here.

Some pointers on paying capital gains taxes from home sales
Dear Liz: My husband and I built a home on a hillside over 30 years ago in a desirable neighborhood with a beautiful view. We thought it would be our retirement home, but life had different plans. Now seniors, dealing with age, stairs and progressive health issues, we have been advised that selling and moving to a senior assisted living facility is the best option for us before we are forced by circumstances to move. And, we were told, it would be less expensive than having full-time, in-home care. We are concerned that capital gains would take a big chunk out of the sales proceeds from our home, and that's money we need to pay for assisted living. Can we use the purchase price of the vacant lot against the capital gains? Can we use the bank loan for building the house against the capital gains? Can we use the cost of an apartment or condo in an assisted living residence against the capital gains? What other things can be used against capital gains other than general home improvements? Answer: A large gain wouldn't just reduce the amount of money you have for the next phase of your life. It also could increase your Medicare premiums for a year, thanks to the income-related adjustment amount or IRMAA. You'll determine your potentially taxable capital gains by deducting your tax basis from your home sales proceeds. Your basis includes the purchase price of the lot and the cost of construction, plus any qualifying home improvements you've made over the years. The two of you can shelter up to $500,000 of home sales profits from capital gains taxes. Capital gains also can be reduced if you have capital losses — in other words, if you've sold stocks or other assets for a loss. What you do with money doesn't affect the capital gains taxes you pay. Decades ago, you could defer capital gains by buying another home of equal or greater value, but that's no longer the case. You may have some alternatives to lessen the impact of the gains, such as an installment sale where the buyer pays over time. Another option would be renting out rather than selling your home. A tax pro can provide guidance. Dear Liz: I'm one of the beneficiaries named in my late relative's will, and plan to use the money to buy a new car. Should I pay cash up front and avoid the interest charges on a loan, or set up monthly payments to help enhance my credit score (currently just under 800)? Answer: A car loan might boost your scores, especially if you don't already have an installment loan such as a mortgage on your credit reports. But once your credit scores are in the high 700s, you're typically getting the best rates and terms from lenders. You'd be paying interest for no reason other than bragging rights. Dear Liz: My Social Security is much higher than my husband's. He started taking his at 62 and I started at my full retirement age of 67. If I die before him, can he start taking my Social Security at some reduced rate? My current payment before any Medicare premiums is about $3,700 and his is about $1,700. Answer: If your husband has reached his own full retirement age by the time you die, his survivor benefit would equal 100% of what you were receiving. The survivor benefit would not be reduced because he started his own benefit early. If you should die before he reaches full retirement age and he starts survivor benefits, the amount would be reduced for the early start.
