The Estate of The Union Season 4|Episode 1 is out now! In this episode of the ESTATE OF THE UNION, Brad Wiewel is going to share with you how to SUPER STRETCH an IRA!
Here’s some background: Retirement accounts like IRAs, 401ks and 403bs are subject to a myriad of new rules on how fast the money needs to be distributed to a non-spouse beneficiary. While there are exceptions, for the vast majority of beneficiaries, the money must be emptied out in ten years, which means that those funds are going to be subject to taxes more quickly and now they are growing in a “taxable” environment.
Enter the Testamentary Charitable Remainder Trust (weird name, right?). As Brad describes it, this trust which can be part of a revocable living trust or a will, and it allows the ultimate beneficiaries (kids, etc.) to take the retirement account distributions over their LIFETIME (Super Stretch), not just ten years! Brad paints the BIG picture and gives enough details for it to make sense to you.
