You inherit $500,000 from your parents' retirement account. You're already earning a good salary. Now the IRS says you have 10 years to withdraw it all - on top of your regular income.
What looked like a generous inheritance just became a massive tax bill.
This is preventable. Smart estate planning now can save your family hundreds of thousands later.

"FACT/DID YOU KNOW"

A $500,000 inherited retirement account could lose $150,000 or more to taxes under the current 10-year rule — especially if the person inheriting it is in their peak earning years.
That's money your family worked for. And it doesn't have to happen.
The right kind of trust can pass on an inheritance while preserving tax benefits and protecting your loved ones from creditors, divorce, and poor financial decisions. This week's blog explains how.

"IN CASE YOU MISSED IT"

In case you missed it this week, here's something worth knowing:
If your spouse inherits your retirement account, they can roll it into their own IRA and keep it growing. But if your adult child inherits it? They've got 10 years to drain the whole thing on top of their own income. The tax hit can be brutal.
There are ways to plan for this. The right trust structure can help manage the tax burden while protecting your family from creditors and poor financial decisions.

Here's what I tell every client who walks in thinking their retirement accounts are "taken care of":
The beneficiary form you filled out years ago could override your entire estate plan.
It doesn't matter what your will says, what your trust says, or what you told your family. That one form controls everything.
And if you're passing a retirement account to your heirs, you need more than just standard estate planning documents. You need a plan that accounts for timing, taxes, and creating the biggest benefit for the people you love.
The good news? This is fixable once you know it's a problem. 15 minutes is all it takes to find out where you stand.

Quick question: If you inherited a retirement account tomorrow, do you know how long you'd have to withdraw it?

The answer surprises most people. Under current law, most beneficiaries must empty an inherited retirement account within 10 years on top of their own income. The tax consequences can be devastating if you're not prepared.

This week's blog explains the 10-year rule, who's exempt, and what you can do right now to plan ahead.

🧠 Common Myths in Estate Planning — And Why They’re False

Myth #1: “A will avoids probate.”
False. A will must go through probate — it doesn’t bypass it.

Myth #2: “I have a revocable trust, so I have asset protection and will avoid probate.”

Partially False. A revocable trust can help avoid probate if funded, but it does not provide asset protection during your lifetime.
