Events

The SECURE Act has killed the inherited stretch IRA for most beneficiaries. Most inherited retirement accounts will instead have to be liquidated within ten years of death. Estate planners are looking at CRTs (which are tax-exempt trusts) as a vehicle to make a major charitable gift and also provide a lifetime of income to a person’s descendants.

Outcomes:

  • The tax rules have been dramatically changed for inherited retirement accounts. Learn what they are.
  • Learn if and when a CRT can solve a family estate planning problem under the new laws and also make a major charitable gift.

Agenda:

7:30 – 7:50 am Registration/Breakfast
7:50 – 8:00 am Announcements
8:00 – 9:00 am Program
