How Will The SECURE ACT Impact Your Estate Plan?

This Act, signed by President Trump this past December, included several important additions and modifications to existing retirement planning code sections.
For example, it changed the age when you MUST start taking money out of your income tax deferred retirement accounts. It gave retirement plan providers the opportunity to include annuities in their choice of ‘investment’ alternatives for plan participants.
What are less well known and not yet fully understood are the changes that will happen after you die. The title above implies there are significant changes that will influence how you designate what happens to your money after you die and how your beneficiaries will have access to it.

Interesting...wonder if insurance companies and estate planners had something to do with this legislation. I'm not liking the 10 year rule.

Definitely not liking the 10-year rule. We both have IRA'S and are in the process of setting up our estate plan. Who knew we would have $750K in assets that needed to be protected?!?
