Ep. 32 – The Stretch IRA – It’s Dead. Now What?

The stretch IRA is dead. But what does that mean for you, your IRA, and your beneficiaries?

When the Secure Act was introduced in January 2020, it killed off the “stretch” IRA, leaving many people wondering how best to manage their inheritance assets. If you’re concerned about what all of this means for you and you have a lot of questions about how the new rules will affect your retirement plan and beneficiaries, you’re in the right place.

  • What the new rules are on using an IRA for inheritance planning
  • What to consider when withdrawing from an IRA inheritance fund
