Estate Planning for IRAs Payable to Trusts After the Secure Act – Welcome to an “Alice in Wonderland World”
Watch Now! |
---|
This is a critical post-Secure Act class for lawyers drafting trusts to receive IRAs at death and the CPAs and Financial advisors that work with those lawyers.
Unfortunately, not enough attention is paid to the tax aspects of IRA planning and the opportunities to preserve retirement funds after death. Nevertheless, with a solid understanding of the post-Secure Act IRA provisions, one will be able to plan around the key issues and identify opportunities. The ten-year rule under 401(a)(9)(H) was layered over the existing statute and underlying 401(a)(9) regulations. Most IRAs will be subject to the ten-year rule, but traps and exceptions continue to exist in the expanded labyrinth of tax and property law surrounding IRA-Trusts.
In this exclusive LISI Webinar, which includes flowcharts, tables and spreadsheets, Bob Keebler will review these critical issues:
- The Ten-Year Payout Rule and the Five Statutory Exceptions under the Secure Act
- The Secure Act’s Conduit Trust Disaster and what the Drafting Attorney must know
- Understanding the four types of Trusts after the Secure Act; the Conduit Trust, the Designated Beneficiary Trust, the Non-Designated Beneficiary Trust and the Eligible Designated Beneficiary Trust

- When to use Non-Designated Beneficiary Accumulation Trust for Non-Exception Beneficiaries
- Payouts when a Beneficiary Dies
- The “Catch-22” of Drafting in a Second or Third Marriage
- Drafting Beneficiary Designation Forms and Drafting the four types of Trusts
- Understanding the Secure Act’s Ten-Year Rule along with the Existing and Surviving Five Year and Ghost Rule.
- What to do when an IRA is Payable to Non-Designated Beneficiary Trusts and the Five Year and Ghost Traps
