Once retirees have confidence in their income needs being met, they want to create a legacy plan. Legacy plans help clients formulate how they want to be remembered and determine how their wealth will have the greatest impact on their family and charities.

The new Secure Act which became law on January 1, 2020, has a significant effect on IRAs and the ability for retirees to pass on tax-deferred assets to their children. Instead of allowing the children to inherit an IRA from their parents and continue Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) other their lifetime, the new laws which pertains to IRA, requires IRAs to be withdrawn by the beneficiary with 10 years of the previous owner’s passing. This is commonly known as the IRA 10-year Rule. It is also possible to withdraw funds at a faster pace when you inherit an IRA, however depending on the inherited individual’s tax bracket it could create a large tax burden or move a client into a higher tax bracket.

Our Kiss Financial advisors work with our clients to look for opportunities to transfer funds out of IRAs and into tax-free programs that have the ability to leverage assets and minimize the tax burden to their beneficiaries.

Have you thought about transferred more wealth to your family tax free? Is your legacy plan leveraging your assets and minimizing the tax burden for your estate?
