  • The New IRA Inheritance Rules: A Millennial Nightmare

    Episode and show notes at: www.sunnybranchwealth.com/blog/inheriting-an-inherited-ira

    Think inheriting your parents' retirement account will be straightforward? 

    Think again. 

    The 2019 SECURE Act completely changed the game for inherited IRAs, forcing most beneficiaries to empty accounts within 10 years. 

    In this episode, I break down what these changes mean for Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z inheritors, including the potential tax bomb waiting for you. 

    Learn why your parents' estate plan might be way outdated, and discover the crucial conversations you need to have now to protect your future inheritance. 

    Plus, get step-by-step guidance on navigating the complex world of beneficiary rules, RMDs, and tax planning.

  • Help! I'm Inheriting Millions But Don't Know Anything About Money

    Episode and show notes at: www.sunnybranchwealth.com/blog/inheriting-money-financial-literacy

    You won't magically know how to handle millions of dollars just because it's your name on the assets.

    In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what nobody tells you about building financial literacy as an inheritor and why it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed.

    As someone who's been there (yep, I'm an inheritor too), I'm sharing the exact building blocks you need to understand, whether you're actively managing inherited wealth or preparing for a future inheritance. 

    No more feeling like you can't ask "basic" questions if you're inheriting a huge amount of money.

    And if you've ever felt frustrated trying to talk to your parents about their estate plan, I'm giving you the exact terms and concepts you need to know to have those conversations like a pro. 

    Skip the Google spiral and join me for  real talk about managing generational wealth.
