About the Two-Part Program:
What estate planning moves are best for the client whose major asset is an IRA or other retirement plan, now that SECURE has taken away the life expectancy payout for most beneficiaries? Which clients can take advantage of the modified life expectancy payout still available for “eligible” beneficiaries---and is it worth it to do so? Options for how to provide for the surviving spouse, minor children, and disabled beneficiary. Planning for a traditional vs. a Roth IRA. Charitable split interest trusts and other planning ideas for dealing with SECURE.

Whether, when, and how to name a trust as beneficiary of your client=s retirement benefits, including complying with the IRS’s proposed “RMD” regulations and minimum distribution trust rules, plus how to navigate trust accounting and income tax issues that apply to retirement plan distributions and when to use multiple trusts.
