IRA Beneficiaries: It’s all about the Benjamins


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, hosts Mike Morton and Matt Robison discuss IRA Beneficiaries. They delve into the critical decision of choosing a beneficiary for your Individual Retirement Account(s) (IRA) and its financial ramifications. Through a real-life example, you will see how one of Mike’s clients' strategic maneuver saved her family $150k in taxes by spreading the withdrawal of her spouse's $500k IRA over a longer period of time.

They also explore the workings of beneficiaries for IRAs, 401(k)s, and 403(b)s, emphasizing the importance of proper estate planning to avoid tying assets up for long periods in probate court. Use the handy checklist provided by the hosts to review your beneficiary designations. Take proactive steps in securing your financial legacy for your loved ones' benefit, potentially saving them significant tax burdens in the future.
