This event will now be offered via webinar.  Members have been sent information on how to register for the webinar.  Please contact Angie with any questions at Admin@SiouxFallsEPC.org

The Secure Act’s ten-year rule changes most of the tried and true principles and greatly impacts on how we will approach spousal rollovers, disclaimers, income tax planning and beneficiary payouts for IRAs and Roth IRAs. When a client dies with an IRA or qualified plan the estate’s advisors must balance the tax law, including the Secure Act, with a variety of financial and property law issues. 

In this fast-paced post-Secure class, Bob Keebler will address the critical questions that must be reviewed from the first family meeting to the final retitling of the IRA account. With a solid understanding of the IRA and qualified plan provisions of the Secure Act, lawyers, CPAs, and advisors will be able to spot the key issues, identify opportunities and apply the most updated solutions.
