    00:00:03.415 --> 00:00:05.795

    My name is Trenton Peacock, certified Financial Planner.

    Um, might be a new voice

    4

    00:00:07.695 --> 00:00:11.675

    or new, um, new face for some of you out there.

    5

    00:00:11.705 --> 00:00:13.475

    Most of you probably are familiar with me.

    6

    00:00:13.535 --> 00:00:16.595

    So I've been with DOS for, uh, almost three years now

    7

    00:00:16.695 --> 00:00:18.195

    and in the industry for five.

    8

    00:00:19.175 --> 00:00:21.955

    Um, so looking forward to doing first webinar

    9

    00:00:22.025 --> 00:00:23.235

    with DOS Financial today.

    10

    00:00:23.255 --> 00:00:26.275

    So today we're going to be talking about, uh,

    11

    00:00:26.275 --> 00:00:28.515

    transitioning assets to the next generation.

    12

    00:00:29.055 --> 00:00:31.755

    Uh, quick note, we do have Tara on the line

    and we can help you get in here.

    17

    00:00:41.735 --> 00:00:44.795

    Uh, there will be a replay avail available afterwards

    18

    00:00:45.015 --> 00:00:46.515

    for those that that registered.

    19

    00:00:47.055 --> 00:00:48.555

    Um, and then I will touch on,

    20

    00:00:48.575 --> 00:00:51.635

    we did have a estate planning webinar specifically

    21

    00:00:51.735 --> 00:00:53.475

    for state documents earlier this year.

    22

    00:00:53.975 --> 00:00:55.795

    Um, so we're, we're kind of more

    23

    00:00:55.795 --> 00:00:57.795

    so touching on the actual transition

    24

    00:00:57.815 --> 00:00:59.795

    to the next generation in this one.

    25

    00:01:00.535 --> 00:01:03.255

    So we will begin.

    26

    00:01:07.605 --> 00:01:10.545

    Uh, so today, full disclosure, anything discussed is

    27

    00:01:10.725 --> 00:01:12.785

    for informational purposes only.

    28

    00:01:13.205 --> 00:01:15.185

    Um, if you have ever tried to read tax code,

    29

    00:01:15.245 --> 00:01:16.905

    you know, uh, it's a mess.

    30

    00:01:17.005 --> 00:01:18.665

    It, there's a lot going into it.

    31

    00:01:18.685 --> 00:01:20.265

    So we're keeping things very general,

    32

    00:01:20.535 --> 00:01:22.345

    very educational today.

    33

    00:01:22.375 --> 00:01:24.625

    It's not tax legal or investment advice.

    34

    00:01:25.315 --> 00:01:28.025

    Every individual situation is different, of course.

    35

    00:01:28.165 --> 00:01:29.865

    So everything that we talk about may

    36

    00:01:29.865 --> 00:01:31.945

    or may not be applicable to your situation.

    37

    00:01:32.405 --> 00:01:33.625

    And as always, consult

    38

    00:01:33.625 --> 00:01:37.585

    with a tax professional financial advisor or state attorney

    39

    00:01:37.605 --> 00:01:39.865

    before any, uh, implementation.

    40

    00:01:43.385 --> 00:01:45.605

    So expectations for today, sort of

    41

    00:01:45.625 --> 00:01:47.245

    to set the stage, so to speak.

    42

    00:01:47.745 --> 00:01:51.205

    Uh, what happens to individual or specific assets

    43

    00:01:51.255 --> 00:01:52.845

    after a death occurs?

    44

    00:01:52.875 --> 00:01:55.925

    What are some rules, regulations, tax implications

    45

    00:01:55.985 --> 00:01:58.485

    to be aware of, uh, both for you

    46

    00:01:58.545 --> 00:01:59.645

    and for the next generation

    47

    00:01:59.705 --> 00:02:01.725

    of your family when assets are passed?

    48

    00:02:02.305 --> 00:02:03.485

    And then we're gonna run through and,

    49

    00:02:03.485 --> 00:02:06.285

    and end the end the day on a couple scenarios, um,

    50

    00:02:06.735 --> 00:02:10.485

    based on actual assets being passed to the next generation.

    51

    00:02:14.585 --> 00:02:17.685

    So first off, kind of clarifying the difference

    52

    00:02:17.685 --> 00:02:19.765

    between a federal estate tax

    53

    00:02:20.345 --> 00:02:23.885

    and assets that are actually taxable to the individual.

    54

    00:02:24.745 --> 00:02:28.725

    Um, so this is state tax exemption rule is not the same as,

    55

    00:02:28.865 --> 00:02:30.805

    oh, I inherited certain account,

    56

    00:02:31.365 --> 00:02:33.845

    I owe taxes when I take the money out as a dis distribution.

    57

    00:02:33.845 --> 00:02:35.205

    This is totally separate of that.

    58

    00:02:35.265 --> 00:02:38.725

    So the reason we're gonna touch on it real quick is

    59

    00:02:39.505 --> 00:02:42.525

    I'd say probably 95% of our, the households that we serve,

    60

    00:02:42.875 --> 00:02:44.925

    this is not going to be applicable to them.

    61

    00:02:44.925 --> 00:02:47.165

    However, it is nice to be aware of.

    62

    00:02:47.705 --> 00:02:52.285

    Um, so if your state is worth more than $13.61 million

    63

    00:02:52.785 --> 00:02:57.085

    and you are a single individual, the federal state tax, um,

    64

    00:02:57.235 --> 00:02:58.285

    will come into effect.

    65

    00:02:58.305 --> 00:02:59.725

    And there's various tax rates,

    66

    00:02:59.775 --> 00:03:02.725

    kinda like the margin brackets that you see, uh,

    67

    00:03:02.785 --> 00:03:03.965

    for your ordinary income.

    68

    00:03:05.185 --> 00:03:08.685

    And then if you're married, this number is 27.22 million.

    69

    00:03:08.825 --> 00:03:10.685

    So again, most of the individuals,

    70

    00:03:10.685 --> 00:03:12.525

    there are a couple outliers that we work with

    71

    00:03:12.545 --> 00:03:15.165

    and we serve, aren't going to have to worry about this,

    72

    00:03:15.905 --> 00:03:18.165

    but it is nice to be aware of

    73

    00:03:18.165 --> 00:03:21.965

    because this, these current numbers are set to, uh, sunset

    74

    00:03:22.795 --> 00:03:23.845

    with the Tax Cuts

    75

    00:03:23.845 --> 00:03:27.565

    and Jobs Act in just over a year now in 2026.

    76

    00:03:28.305 --> 00:03:31.645

    Um, so the old numbers single used to be 5 million,

    77

    00:03:31.755 --> 00:03:33.085

    married was around 10 million.

    78

    00:03:33.705 --> 00:03:38.165

    Uh, they're expecting if it does sunset those numbers to be

    79

    00:03:38.165 --> 00:03:41.005

    around seven and 14 million if, uh,

    80

    00:03:41.195 --> 00:03:42.445

    it's ingested for inflation.

    81

    00:03:42.665 --> 00:03:45.565

    So nice to be aware of, doesn't apply to most people.

    82

    00:03:46.105 --> 00:03:49.045

    Uh, however, in 2026, that number could change.

    83

    00:03:49.145 --> 00:03:51.885

    So that's why we're talking about that off the start.

    84

    00:03:55.065 --> 00:03:58.045

    Um, so common estate pitfalls, again,

    85

    00:03:58.145 --> 00:04:01.605

    we aren't getting into the weeds on estate documents, trust,

    86

    00:04:01.775 --> 00:04:03.725

    wills, anything of that nature today.

    87

    00:04:03.955 --> 00:04:05.765

    However, we'll touch on that.

    88

    00:04:05.765 --> 00:04:08.925

    Having a will does not necessarily mean, um, all

    89

    00:04:08.925 --> 00:04:10.765

    of your assets or certain A assets are going

    90

    00:04:10.765 --> 00:04:11.845

    to avoid probate.

    91

    00:04:11.865 --> 00:04:13.685

    And on the same tune, having a trust

    92

    00:04:14.195 --> 00:04:16.885

    doesn't necessarily mean you're covering all aspects

    93

    00:04:16.905 --> 00:04:18.045

    to avoid probate as well.

    94

    00:04:18.075 --> 00:04:20.885

    It's really about what's included, what's not included,

    95

    00:04:20.995 --> 00:04:23.845

    what can you have a beneficiary on certain accounts,

    96

    00:04:24.275 --> 00:04:26.045

    what can't you have beneficiaries on,

    97

    00:04:26.045 --> 00:04:28.805

    and how are you covering those other outside accounts?

    98

    00:04:28.805 --> 00:04:30.445

    So ultimately, again,

    99

    00:04:30.445 --> 00:04:32.605

    every individual situation is different.

    100

    00:04:32.635 --> 00:04:35.205

    It's important to take inventory of your assets.

    101

    00:04:35.615 --> 00:04:37.285

    Quick plug for Doss Financial Group.

    102

    00:04:37.385 --> 00:04:39.285

    If you do annual review meetings with us,

    103

    00:04:39.585 --> 00:04:41.605

    we have your updated net worth and balance sheet.

    104

    00:04:41.665 --> 00:04:42.765

    We can see what changed.

    105

    00:04:42.865 --> 00:04:45.965

    We can see what accounts are new versus what are old,

    106

    00:04:46.225 --> 00:04:47.605

    and we can kind of guide you and help you

    107

    00:04:47.605 --> 00:04:48.885

    and say, Hey, you know, we just

    108

    00:04:48.885 --> 00:04:49.965

    opened this account this year.

    109

    00:04:50.335 --> 00:04:52.525

    Maybe it makes sense to add your estate plan.

    110

    00:04:52.945 --> 00:04:56.165

    Um, but on top of that, also knowing your expectations

    111

    00:04:56.465 --> 00:05:00.365

    and your beneficiary's expectations, uh, when the time comes

    112

    00:05:00.365 --> 00:05:02.085

    that they eventually get your assets.

    113

    00:05:02.185 --> 00:05:04.165

    So having that deep, tough conversation,

    114

    00:05:04.995 --> 00:05:07.405

    it's a little morbid, but it certainly helps all parties

    115

    00:05:07.805 --> 00:05:09.805

    involved once something does actually happen.

    116

    00:05:10.345 --> 00:05:11.525

    Um, and the estate,

    117

    00:05:11.745 --> 00:05:13.605

    the estate is actually triggered at that point.

    118

    00:05:16.525 --> 00:05:17.545

    So first

    119

    00:05:17.545 --> 00:05:20.625

    and foremost in your estate comes

    120

    00:05:21.305 --> 00:05:22.745

    identifying your different assets.

    121

    00:05:23.325 --> 00:05:24.985

    So we use these tax buckets a lot.

    122

    00:05:25.015 --> 00:05:27.425

    It's going to help us today kind of describe, uh,

    123

    00:05:27.445 --> 00:05:29.465

    the different tax implications, rules

    124

    00:05:29.465 --> 00:05:31.345

    and regulations that are involved

    125

    00:05:31.345 --> 00:05:33.265

    with passing assets to the next generation.

    126

    00:05:33.805 --> 00:05:35.945

    Uh, so we'll start with the green bucket,

    127

    00:05:36.035 --> 00:05:38.425

    which is your taxable accounts.

    128

    00:05:39.165 --> 00:05:42.385

    So clients of ours know these are accounts

    129

    00:05:42.385 --> 00:05:45.585

    that you may receive a 10 99 on each year can be checking,

    130

    00:05:45.655 --> 00:05:47.665

    savings, CDs, money markets,

    131

    00:05:48.205 --> 00:05:50.425

    and then we have non-retirement vehicles such

    132

    00:05:50.425 --> 00:05:53.785

    as a transfer on death, otherwise known as a TOD account.

    133

    00:05:54.405 --> 00:05:57.065

    Um, so these are the most common that we see

    134

    00:05:57.905 --> 00:06:01.165

    on our balance sheet, net worth statements in our office.

    135

    00:06:06.935 --> 00:06:10.315

    Now, when we're talking about transferring these assets

    136

    00:06:10.335 --> 00:06:12.355

    to the next generation, at least

    137

    00:06:12.415 --> 00:06:14.595

    for the taxable non-retirement account,

    138

    00:06:14.595 --> 00:06:17.515

    we wanna focus on this rule set by the IRS

    139

    00:06:17.695 --> 00:06:19.395

    of the step up basis.

    140

    00:06:19.775 --> 00:06:21.075

    So what is the stepped up basis?

    141

    00:06:21.185 --> 00:06:23.795

    Well, it includes, like I said, taxable accounts

    142

    00:06:23.795 --> 00:06:26.515

    that include stocks, bonds, mutual funds.

    143

    00:06:27.135 --> 00:06:30.035

    And here's a little example of how this, this plays out

    144

    00:06:30.625 --> 00:06:31.835

    when transferring assets,

    145

    00:06:31.935 --> 00:06:35.275

    so let's say parent invests a hundred thousand into X, y,

    146

    00:06:35.315 --> 00:06:37.925

    z stock that is out of pocket.

    147

    00:06:38.025 --> 00:06:39.925

    So they actually made a contribution

    148

    00:06:40.545 --> 00:06:43.045

    of $100,000 over time.

    149

    00:06:44.155 --> 00:06:46.285

    This investment appreciates

    150

    00:06:46.385 --> 00:06:48.925

    to call it 500,000 for easy math.

    151

    00:06:49.985 --> 00:06:52.205

    Now, if there wasn't a stepped up basis

    152

    00:06:53.035 --> 00:06:56.365

    when the individual were to pass assets get handed down

    153

    00:06:56.365 --> 00:06:59.605

    to the child that inherits the account, there could be,

    154

    00:06:59.995 --> 00:07:03.485

    well, 400,000 of capital gains tax that would be owed.

    155

    00:07:03.945 --> 00:07:07.245

    Now, a stepped up basis rule comes into a flat into effect

    156

    00:07:07.245 --> 00:07:10.005

    and says, okay, at passing, uh,

    157

    00:07:10.005 --> 00:07:11.925

    because you're holding stocks, bonds, mutual funds,

    158

    00:07:11.925 --> 00:07:14.125

    they're qualified positions for the stepped up basis.

    159

    00:07:14.905 --> 00:07:18.445

    Now, the child that inherits the stock, the new basis

    160

    00:07:18.585 --> 00:07:20.965

    for them is going to be $500,000,

    161

    00:07:21.745 --> 00:07:24.365

    and anything above that will now be capital gains.

    162

    00:07:24.365 --> 00:07:28.245

    So it's avoiding potentially large sum of capital gains tax.

    163

    00:07:28.785 --> 00:07:31.565

    Uh, they're getting a new basis in the stock that they own,

    164

    00:07:31.715 --> 00:07:32.965

    whether they sell it

    165

    00:07:32.985 --> 00:07:35.205

    or they hold it, that's completely up to them.

    166

    00:07:35.705 --> 00:07:38.525

    Um, but if it appreciates beyond that 500,000,

    167

    00:07:38.865 --> 00:07:41.565

    now you're looking at potential capital gains at that point.

    168

    00:07:42.265 --> 00:07:46.765

    Um, so that is for, again, stocks, bonds, mutual funds,

    169

    00:07:47.465 --> 00:07:50.645

    um, and, and those are usually held within the tax or

    170

    00:07:50.825 --> 00:07:52.525

    or non-retirement account.

    171

    00:07:55.175 --> 00:07:56.915

    Now, in certain instances,

    172

    00:07:57.775 --> 00:08:01.235

    the stepped up basis rule also applies to real estate.

    173

    00:08:01.935 --> 00:08:04.875

    Uh, so primary residence, vacation property, whatever it is,

    174

    00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:06.675

    uh, this stepped up basis.

    175

    00:08:06.765 --> 00:08:09.035

    Again, same scenario. So you purchased a home

    176

    00:08:09.035 --> 00:08:12.795

    for a hundred thousand, it gets appreciated in value.

    177

    00:08:13.055 --> 00:08:15.155

    New appraisal comes in at 500,000.

    178

    00:08:15.155 --> 00:08:17.635

    There could be potentially some capital gain in there.

    179

    00:08:17.785 --> 00:08:20.675

    However, if the stepped up basis rule comes into effect

    180

    00:08:20.855 --> 00:08:23.715

    for your child or your beneficiary, um,

    181

    00:08:23.855 --> 00:08:27.715

    it could avoid capital gains taxes if the property, uh,

    182

    00:08:27.775 --> 00:08:29.475

    is still at that $500,000.

    183

    00:08:29.695 --> 00:08:33.475

    So common question that we get from clients is,

    184

    00:08:33.975 --> 00:08:36.875

    should I gift property while I'm still alive?

    185

    00:08:37.135 --> 00:08:39.275

    And the answer is as most things in finance,

    186

    00:08:39.345 --> 00:08:42.115

    without knowing your situation, it depends.

    187

    00:08:42.815 --> 00:08:47.715

    Um, so for example, um, if you were to gift your property

    188

    00:08:47.975 --> 00:08:51.275

    before you pass that stepped up basis rule will not come

    189

    00:08:51.275 --> 00:08:53.115

    into effect, it will not be triggered.

    190

    00:08:53.705 --> 00:08:55.525

    Thus, you know, it could have some capital

    191

    00:08:55.655 --> 00:08:56.725

    gains on your property.

    192

    00:08:56.745 --> 00:08:58.765

    So really, it, it depends on your situation,

    193

    00:08:58.765 --> 00:09:02.125

    depends on your beneficiary situation, their plans on what

    194

    00:09:02.125 --> 00:09:03.845

    to do with the property after you pass

    195

    00:09:04.345 --> 00:09:06.725

    and having a conversation from there, um,

    196

    00:09:07.135 --> 00:09:08.485

    based on, based on that.

    197

    00:09:11.925 --> 00:09:14.615

    Next is tax deferred accounts.

    198

    00:09:15.315 --> 00:09:19.735

    So key point here, this is money that has not been taxed

    199

    00:09:19.755 --> 00:09:22.655

    yet, such as traditional IRAs, 4 0 1 Ks.

    200

    00:09:22.655 --> 00:09:25.535

    When you make the contribution, you get the tax deferral,

    201

    00:09:25.535 --> 00:09:26.855

    it grows tax deferred,

    202

    00:09:27.195 --> 00:09:30.815

    and at some point when you plan a ticket out in retirement,

    203

    00:09:30.995 --> 00:09:34.895

    you are going to be taxed as income on this money.

    204

    00:09:36.195 --> 00:09:37.255

    So a couple things.

    205

    00:09:37.315 --> 00:09:38.855

    So the key point here is

    206

    00:09:38.855 --> 00:09:41.415

    with tax deferred accounts has not been taxed yet.

    207

    00:09:41.835 --> 00:09:44.255

    If it gets passed in the next generation, you have

    208

    00:09:44.255 --> 00:09:45.735

    to expect the IRS is going

    209

    00:09:45.735 --> 00:09:47.735

    to want their cut somehow some way.

    210

    00:09:48.755 --> 00:09:52.735

    So we're talking today on traditional IRA rollover IRAs,

    211

    00:09:52.735 --> 00:09:55.855

    4 0 1 Ks and A through in health savings accounts.

    212

    00:09:56.115 --> 00:10:00.255

    In there, uh, the rules we will be discussing do not qualify

    213

    00:10:00.435 --> 00:10:01.575

    for health savings accounts.

    214

    00:10:01.575 --> 00:10:03.735

    Essentially, if you have an HSA at death,

    215

    00:10:04.355 --> 00:10:05.775

    it ends when the account owner passes.

    216

    00:10:06.275 --> 00:10:08.695

    The next generation is going to have to take that

    217

    00:10:08.715 --> 00:10:10.535

    as income taxable.

    218

    00:10:11.195 --> 00:10:15.545

    Um, so when it comes

    219

    00:10:15.645 --> 00:10:17.905

    to inheriting IRA accounts, it's important

    220

    00:10:17.905 --> 00:10:21.025

    because typically the households we work with, a lot

    221

    00:10:21.025 --> 00:10:22.705

    of times that's their largest, uh,

    222

    00:10:22.705 --> 00:10:24.705

    investible asset is their tax deferred money.

    223

    00:10:24.705 --> 00:10:27.465

    In an IRA, so the IRS first,

    224

    00:10:28.295 --> 00:10:32.385

    when an IRA is inherited by a, um,

    225

    00:10:33.125 --> 00:10:36.065

    by beneficiary party, they're gonna identify

    226

    00:10:36.295 --> 00:10:38.865

    what the beneficiary or who the beneficiary is.

    227

    00:10:38.925 --> 00:10:42.065

    So first we have eligible designated beneficiaries.

    228

    00:10:43.075 --> 00:10:45.585

    These tend to be a lot more simpler as far as the rules

    229

    00:10:45.585 --> 00:10:47.585

    and regulations when you inherit the account.

    230

    00:10:48.495 --> 00:10:51.075

    Um, if you're a surviving spouse, it's very easy.

    231

    00:10:51.135 --> 00:10:53.355

    You can pretty much roll it into an existing account.

    232

    00:10:53.695 --> 00:10:56.755

    You don't have to worry about, um, the RMDs

    233

    00:10:56.755 --> 00:10:58.715

    that were scheduled for the prior person.

    234

    00:10:58.855 --> 00:11:01.235

    You can kind of follow your own rules, your own game there.

    235

    00:11:01.855 --> 00:11:06.235

    Um, another eligible designated beneficiary is, um,

    236

    00:11:06.775 --> 00:11:09.755

    anyone that is less than 10 years younger than the decedent,

    237

    00:11:09.755 --> 00:11:11.315

    they're kind of looking for siblings there.

    238

    00:11:11.315 --> 00:11:12.315

    That's, that's their goal.

    239

    00:11:12.335 --> 00:11:14.475

    If a sibling inherits an account,

    240

    00:11:14.855 --> 00:11:15.955

    you may have different rules

    241

    00:11:15.955 --> 00:11:18.595

    and regulations than a non-eligible beneficiary.

    242

    00:11:18.695 --> 00:11:19.755

    So, um,

    243

    00:11:19.835 --> 00:11:23.835

    non-eligible beneficiaries are basically everyone else, right?

    244

    00:11:23.835 --> 00:11:27.595

    So specifically children, nieces, nephews, anyone outside

    245

    00:11:27.595 --> 00:11:28.915

    of your spouse

    246

    00:11:29.015 --> 00:11:32.475

    or sibling that is inheriting, inheriting the I a account.

    247

    00:11:36.765 --> 00:11:39.585

    So once we identify who the beneficiary is,

    248

    00:11:39.615 --> 00:11:43.425

    when they inherit the IRA, now we have to be cognizant

    249

    00:11:43.425 --> 00:11:46.345

    or aware of different rules and regulations.

    250

    00:11:47.285 --> 00:11:50.265

    So since this webinar is about transitioning assets

    251

    00:11:50.405 --> 00:11:51.585

    to the next generation,

    252

    00:11:52.145 --> 00:11:54.965

    I do wanna spend the most time on this non-eligible

    253

    00:11:55.055 --> 00:11:56.485

    designated beneficiary.

    254

    00:11:57.065 --> 00:12:00.725

    So this would be children, nieces, nephews, um,

    255

    00:12:01.575 --> 00:12:04.165

    adult children, any one of that of that nature.

    256

    00:12:04.425 --> 00:12:07.245

    So let's say you have an inherited IRA

    257

    00:12:08.235 --> 00:12:09.445

    $500,000.

    258

    00:12:10.185 --> 00:12:12.445

    You inherit from a parent, it's qualified money

    259

    00:12:12.985 --> 00:12:16.485

    and you open a new inherited IRA account, let's say

    260

    00:12:16.485 --> 00:12:17.685

    with DOS financial group.

    261

    00:12:18.145 --> 00:12:19.845

    Um, and you currently own that account.

    262

    00:12:20.065 --> 00:12:21.605

    Now what, what do I have to be aware

    263

    00:12:21.605 --> 00:12:23.565

    of once the account is in my name?

    264

    00:12:23.875 --> 00:12:26.645

    It's open, uh, it's invested and it's ready to go.

    265

    00:12:27.315 --> 00:12:29.685

    Well, a couple things. There's a 10 year rule

    266

    00:12:29.875 --> 00:12:33.645

    that the IRS established stating that you have

    267

    00:12:33.645 --> 00:12:37.245

    to deplete the account completely by the end of 10 years.

    268

    00:12:37.345 --> 00:12:39.525

    So once you open the account, get it funded,

    269

    00:12:39.525 --> 00:12:40.885

    that 10 year clock starts

    270

    00:12:41.465 --> 00:12:44.565

    and you have to completely deplete the account from,

    271

    00:12:45.025 --> 00:12:46.205

    uh, years one through 10.

    272

    00:12:46.205 --> 00:12:47.445

    So at the end of year 10 has

    273

    00:12:47.445 --> 00:12:50.325

    to be a zero zero balance in the account.

    274

    00:12:50.905 --> 00:12:53.045

    Why did they do that? Well, they said, Hey, you know what?

    275

    00:12:53.045 --> 00:12:54.965

    Your parents deferred this money for so long.

    276

    00:12:55.465 --> 00:12:56.645

    Um, we want our cut.

    277

    00:12:56.735 --> 00:12:59.045

    We're not gonna let you hold this and defer taxes forever.

    278

    00:12:59.585 --> 00:13:02.485

    So they establish a 10 year rule that again, has

    279

    00:13:02.485 --> 00:13:05.045

    to deplete the account by the end of 10 years.

    280

    00:13:06.465 --> 00:13:08.525

    Now another nuance to that is

    281

    00:13:09.965 --> 00:13:11.365

    required minimum distributions.

    282

    00:13:11.465 --> 00:13:14.845

    So for those that are age 72, age 73

    283

    00:13:14.845 --> 00:13:16.525

    and above, you're pretty familiar

    284

    00:13:16.525 --> 00:13:18.605

    with required minimum distributions, right?

    285

    00:13:18.605 --> 00:13:21.205

    Every year you have to take a certain amount out

    286

    00:13:21.625 --> 00:13:26.125

    of your qualified money, your IRAs, um, to file the IRS

    287

    00:13:26.125 --> 00:13:27.845

    and follow the the tax guidelines.

    288

    00:13:28.215 --> 00:13:29.485

    Again, they want their cut.

    289

    00:13:29.715 --> 00:13:31.245

    They want you to take out something.

    290

    00:13:31.705 --> 00:13:34.125

    Um, and you can't defer those taxes forever.

    291

    00:13:34.385 --> 00:13:38.365

    So think of it as a water faucet.

    292

    00:13:38.865 --> 00:13:40.285

    If the decedent or if the person

    293

    00:13:40.285 --> 00:13:43.325

    that passed was already taking RMDs on their account,

    294

    00:13:43.455 --> 00:13:45.045

    their age 73 or

    295

    00:13:45.225 --> 00:13:50.125

    or above at this point, um, then if the beneficiary of

    296

    00:13:50.125 --> 00:13:53.925

    that account opens an inherit IRA, they will also have

    297

    00:13:53.925 --> 00:13:55.485

    to take RMDs each year.

    298

    00:13:55.485 --> 00:13:56.645

    And this is a newish rule.

    299

    00:13:56.755 --> 00:13:58.405

    They established this a couple months ago.

    300

    00:13:58.405 --> 00:13:59.645

    It was a big gray area.

    301

    00:14:00.305 --> 00:14:02.405

    Um, but moving forward, starting next year,

    302

    00:14:02.405 --> 00:14:05.525

    there will be required minimum distributions on

    303

    00:14:05.525 --> 00:14:07.005

    inherited IRA accounts.

    304

    00:14:07.505 --> 00:14:10.645

    Um, so those different rules

    305

    00:14:10.705 --> 00:14:13.485

    and regulations, basically what we want you to be aware

    306

    00:14:13.485 --> 00:14:16.485

    of is that there are too many things you have

    307

    00:14:16.485 --> 00:14:17.805

    to empty the account in 10 years.

    308

    00:14:17.825 --> 00:14:21.845

    You may or may not have to take an RMD that depends, uh,

    309

    00:14:22.105 --> 00:14:24.485

    but get with your trusted advisor, get

    310

    00:14:24.485 --> 00:14:26.605

    with your tax advisor, your financial advisor,

    311

    00:14:27.265 --> 00:14:29.125

    and just make sure you stay on top of this

    312

    00:14:29.125 --> 00:14:33.565

    because there is a excise tax tax penalty if you fail

    313

    00:14:33.565 --> 00:14:35.325

    to take RMDs when you're supposed to.

    314

    00:14:35.945 --> 00:14:37.805

    Um, so a couple things,

    315

    00:14:38.405 --> 00:14:40.205

    a couple side notes as far as planning.

    316

    00:14:40.305 --> 00:14:43.565

    If you inherit an IRA, again, all qualified money,

    317

    00:14:43.635 --> 00:14:45.405

    it's all going to be taxable income.

    318

    00:14:46.025 --> 00:14:48.725

    Uh, most of the time you're probably not going to want

    319

    00:14:48.725 --> 00:14:51.325

    to take that out in a lump sum in one year.

    320

    00:14:51.625 --> 00:14:54.725

    Why? Because let's say you inherit 500,000, uh,

    321

    00:14:54.725 --> 00:14:57.685

    $500,000 inherited IRA, you take out

    322

    00:14:57.685 --> 00:14:59.445

    and completely deplete the account in one year.

    323

    00:14:59.875 --> 00:15:02.565

    Boom, you've taken 500,000 in taxable income

    324

    00:15:02.985 --> 00:15:05.325

    and you've shot your, your marginal ineffective

    325

    00:15:05.425 --> 00:15:06.525

    tax rates through the roof.

    326

    00:15:06.525 --> 00:15:08.205

    So there's a little bit of strategy on

    327

    00:15:09.425 --> 00:15:12.885

    if you inherit an IRA, we have to get the account

    328

    00:15:12.885 --> 00:15:14.205

    to zero after 10 years.

    329

    00:15:14.995 --> 00:15:17.725

    What makes sense from your personal tax tax perspective,

    330

    00:15:17.795 --> 00:15:18.925

    your personal, marginal

    331

    00:15:18.925 --> 00:15:23.485

    and effective tax brackets to take out money each year, um,

    332

    00:15:23.785 --> 00:15:27.805

    or every other year and make a tax plan on distributions

    333

    00:15:27.845 --> 00:15:28.845

    within those accounts.

    334

    00:15:28.985 --> 00:15:30.125

    So that's our plug there.

    335

    00:15:30.905 --> 00:15:33.725

    You have to be cognizant and aware of your tax rates,

    336

    00:15:33.915 --> 00:15:36.125

    getting that down within 10 year timeframe,

    337

    00:15:36.265 --> 00:15:39.245

    and then RMDs along the way if if necessary.

    338

    00:15:40.065 --> 00:15:42.445

    So a lot of complication around qualified money.

    339

    00:15:42.615 --> 00:15:44.605

    Again, if you think about it, it's deferred.

    340

    00:15:45.085 --> 00:15:48.085

    IRS wants their taxes. They're going to implement some sort

    341

    00:15:48.085 --> 00:15:50.085

    of rules to get their fair share

    342

    00:15:50.085 --> 00:15:51.485

    and get their cut at the end of the day.

    343

    00:15:56.475 --> 00:16:00.525

    So that is tax deferred accounts.

    344

    00:16:00.525 --> 00:16:04.565

    Now we are on tax free accounts, so tax free,

    345

    00:16:04.865 --> 00:16:05.885

    our favorite bucket of money.

    346

    00:16:06.385 --> 00:16:09.845

    Um, this typically when we're talking about an estate plan

    347

    00:16:10.105 --> 00:16:11.605

    or, or asset transition,

    348

    00:16:11.605 --> 00:16:14.765

    this typically includes life insurance and Roth IRAs.

    349

    00:16:14.765 --> 00:16:16.685

    Those are the the common ones we're working with.

    350

    00:16:17.465 --> 00:16:21.125

    So life insurance generally not taxable, wherever it goes.

    351

    00:16:21.505 --> 00:16:23.605

    Um, again, there might be a couple nuances out there.

    352

    00:16:24.185 --> 00:16:27.675

    Um, and then Roth IRAs have

    353

    00:16:27.675 --> 00:16:31.155

    that similar distribution rules as traditional IRAs such

    354

    00:16:31.155 --> 00:16:33.435

    as there is a 10 year distribution rule.

    355

    00:16:34.015 --> 00:16:36.675

    Um, there may or may not be RMDs that need

    356

    00:16:36.675 --> 00:16:37.715

    to be taken each year.

    357

    00:16:38.145 --> 00:16:41.715

    However, Roth IRAs are different in that they, as long

    358

    00:16:41.715 --> 00:16:44.275

    as the account was open for five years, it's going to be

    359

    00:16:44.815 --> 00:16:47.075

    tax redistributions to the beneficiary.

    360

    00:16:47.415 --> 00:16:49.795

    So again, one of the most tax advantageous accounts,

    361

    00:16:49.865 --> 00:16:51.235

    both while you're still alive

    362

    00:16:51.415 --> 00:16:53.955

    and then also when it gets passed to the next generation.

    363

    00:16:54.735 --> 00:16:58.635

    Um, so the strategy there is, okay, if we need to take RMDs

    364

    00:16:58.635 --> 00:17:00.875

    or take a little bit out each year, great.

    365

    00:17:01.375 --> 00:17:03.955

    If not, why not let the, the tax free growth

    366

    00:17:04.955 --> 00:17:06.395

    compound over the next 10 years?

    367

    00:17:06.935 --> 00:17:08.115

    And then at the end of 10 years,

    368

    00:17:08.115 --> 00:17:11.395

    since it's not taxable money, then we make the distribution,

    369

    00:17:11.775 --> 00:17:13.835

    um, put funds where they need to go and,

    370

    00:17:13.895 --> 00:17:15.635

    and create strategy from there.

    371

    00:17:15.775 --> 00:17:16.875

    So again,

    372

    00:17:16.945 --> 00:17:19.995

    Roth areas still have some distribution rules when they are

    373

    00:17:19.995 --> 00:17:23.555

    inherited, however, it's, it's much more tax advantageous.

    374

    00:17:24.295 --> 00:17:27.715

    Um, and just being aware of that tenure, tenure period

    375

    00:17:27.815 --> 00:17:28.955

    as well for the Roths.

    376

    00:17:34.925 --> 00:17:38.665

    So after going through our different tax buckets,

    377

    00:17:39.045 --> 00:17:40.225

    now we'll go through a couple

    378

    00:17:40.825 --> 00:17:43.225

    specific case study specific scenarios.

    379

    00:17:44.485 --> 00:17:48.425

    So first case study we're looking at overall pretty

    380

    00:17:48.745 --> 00:17:49.885

    complete estate plan.

    381

    00:17:49.945 --> 00:17:54.045

    So we have Sally, single, female 95, no spouse

    382

    00:17:54.635 --> 00:17:57.285

    with two adult kids, Tom and Sue.

    383

    00:17:57.985 --> 00:18:01.205

    Um, thanks to being a Doss financial group client,

    384

    00:18:01.765 --> 00:18:03.805

    Sally has gotten her estate plan around.

    385

    00:18:03.905 --> 00:18:06.845

    She has wills, powers of attorney, both health and medical

    386

    00:18:07.745 --> 00:18:11.325

    or excuse me, health and financial updated beneficiaries on

    387

    00:18:11.345 --> 00:18:14.725

    all accounts necessary and has a trust established

    388

    00:18:14.725 --> 00:18:15.765

    and trust in place.

    389

    00:18:16.505 --> 00:18:19.845

    Um, we're also going to assume that her

    390

    00:18:20.485 --> 00:18:24.205

    TOD account had an original cost basis of $100,000

    391

    00:18:24.785 --> 00:18:26.445

    and her primary residence

    392

    00:18:26.555 --> 00:18:31.085

    that she resided in had an original basis of $150,000.

    393

    00:18:32.165 --> 00:18:34.425

    And then our last assumption is Tom

    394

    00:18:34.425 --> 00:18:38.985

    and Sue were named beneficiaries 50 50 split even on all

    395

    00:18:38.985 --> 00:18:42.145

    accounts, um, that could have possibly been, uh,

    396

    00:18:42.245 --> 00:18:43.905

    had a beneficiary attached to it.

    397

    00:18:46.265 --> 00:18:47.445

    So who gets what?

    398

    00:18:48.405 --> 00:18:52.465

    So we have remaining from the $250,000 TOD account,

    399

    00:18:53.205 --> 00:18:56.945

    125,000 to both Sue and Tom.

    400

    00:18:56.945 --> 00:18:59.625

    And again, if that goes to direct to beneficiaries,

    401

    00:18:59.655 --> 00:19:01.745

    they're going to get a stepped up, uh,

    402

    00:19:01.895 --> 00:19:03.305

    cost basis in that account.

    403

    00:19:03.975 --> 00:19:06.705

    They will not owe capital gains on the new basis,

    404

    00:19:06.925 --> 00:19:08.945

    but if they decide to keep the investments,

    405

    00:19:08.975 --> 00:19:11.625

    they could owe capital gains on the account.

    406

    00:19:11.645 --> 00:19:14.945

    If they cash out right at the new cost basis, again,

    407

    00:19:15.085 --> 00:19:17.065

    no taxable income income to them.

    408

    00:19:17.925 --> 00:19:20.945

    Uh, they'll both inherit checking and CD accounts.

    409

    00:19:21.095 --> 00:19:25.425

    5,000, 25,000 respectively, generally not taxable.

    410

    00:19:25.425 --> 00:19:27.505

    However, if there is some interest

    411

    00:19:27.505 --> 00:19:29.585

    that is earned in those accounts, uh,

    412

    00:19:29.595 --> 00:19:31.945

    after the time of death of the decedent,

    413

    00:19:32.155 --> 00:19:35.065

    there could be a little bit of of taxable, uh,

    414

    00:19:35.135 --> 00:19:36.345

    gain on that account as well.

    415

    00:19:36.885 --> 00:19:40.065

    And then let's say the children both inherited the property,

    416

    00:19:40.645 --> 00:19:43.505

    um, and then, and then sold the property right away,

    417

    00:19:43.775 --> 00:19:46.345

    they're gonna have some property proceeds call it

    418

    00:19:46.345 --> 00:19:49.105

    $175,000 each to them.

    419

    00:19:50.815 --> 00:19:52.995

    Now we also have an inherit IRA,

    420

    00:19:52.995 --> 00:19:57.115

    which on the previous sheet was a million dollars net worth,

    421

    00:19:57.115 --> 00:20:01.035

    or excuse me, a million dollars worth to, um, the decedent.

    422

    00:20:01.545 --> 00:20:03.115

    They're gonna split that 50 50.

    423

    00:20:03.295 --> 00:20:05.835

    And again, this account is going to be the account

    424

    00:20:05.835 --> 00:20:08.675

    that they want to be aware of rules and regulations on.

    425

    00:20:08.945 --> 00:20:11.315

    They're both going to inherit $500,000.

    426

    00:20:11.705 --> 00:20:14.675

    They open an inherited IRA in both of their names,

    427

    00:20:15.375 --> 00:20:18.035

    so separate accounts and then they're gonna have, uh,

    428

    00:20:18.035 --> 00:20:20.555

    excuse me, 10 years to completely deplete this account.

    429

    00:20:20.935 --> 00:20:25.275

    And possibly, or they will have RMDs since Sally was taking

    430

    00:20:25.745 --> 00:20:27.035

    RMDs at the time of death.

    431

    00:20:27.655 --> 00:20:29.235

    So they're gonna have RMDs outta the account,

    432

    00:20:29.235 --> 00:20:31.635

    they're gonna have to completely deplete it, uh,

    433

    00:20:31.635 --> 00:20:32.915

    within a 10 year timeframe.

    434

    00:20:33.415 --> 00:20:34.955

    And it's a good truck of money, right?

    435

    00:20:34.985 --> 00:20:36.835

    $500,000 is,

    436

    00:20:36.835 --> 00:20:39.955

    could have a huge impact on your marginal and effective bracket.

    437

    00:20:41.065 --> 00:20:44.675

    They're also going to have an inherited Roth IRA account,

    438

    00:20:45.205 --> 00:20:46.755

    originally a hundred thousand dollars.

    439

    00:20:47.155 --> 00:20:48.845

    They split it evenly 50 50.

    440

    00:20:49.265 --> 00:20:53.005

    So they're both going to have $50,000 inherited at Roth IRA

    441

    00:20:53.005 --> 00:20:57.285

    accounts, uh, again, might have RMDs on that money.

    442

    00:20:57.285 --> 00:20:59.085

    However, they're planning

    443

    00:20:59.085 --> 00:21:01.805

    to let it grow over the next 10 years to take advantage

    444

    00:21:01.805 --> 00:21:04.885

    of the, the tax free growth as much as possible

    445

    00:21:04.905 --> 00:21:07.205

    before the i, the IRS requires them

    446

    00:21:07.225 --> 00:21:08.445

    to make the distribution.

    447

    00:21:10.715 --> 00:21:14.015

    So that's pretty easy, pretty simple, pretty clean.

    448

    00:21:14.915 --> 00:21:17.215

    Now let's see what happens if there's an

    449

    00:21:17.265 --> 00:21:18.935

    incomplete estate plan.

    450

    00:21:20.355 --> 00:21:22.415

    So same scenario, Sally, single female,

    451

    00:21:22.555 --> 00:21:24.535

    95 years old, two kids.

    452

    00:21:25.155 --> 00:21:28.775

    She has wills, powers of attorney, but no trust.

    453

    00:21:30.375 --> 00:21:32.535

    Sally also made it a, made a oopsies

    454

    00:21:32.535 --> 00:21:35.375

    and forgot to put beneficiaries on her checking

    455

    00:21:35.635 --> 00:21:36.855

    and CD accounts.

    456

    00:21:37.755 --> 00:21:40.215

    Uh, bigger, oops, accidentally left Ron,

    457

    00:21:40.275 --> 00:21:44.175

    who was her ex-husband as beneficiary to her Roth IRA,

    458

    00:21:45.325 --> 00:21:47.225

    all the other accounts still the same.

    459

    00:21:47.445 --> 00:21:50.065

    Tom and Sue 50 50 beneficiaries on all the,

    460

    00:21:50.165 --> 00:21:51.305

    on all the accounts.

    461

    00:21:51.805 --> 00:21:54.425

    And then same original cost basis, um,

    462

    00:21:54.895 --> 00:21:56.825

    assumptions as the last one.

    463

    00:21:57.045 --> 00:21:59.985

    So a couple nuances thrown into this scenario.

    464

    00:22:02.605 --> 00:22:03.745

    So who gets what.

    465

    00:22:04.565 --> 00:22:08.665

    So we have the brokerage TOD, same as last, last scenario.

    466

    00:22:08.845 --> 00:22:12.225

    So she did name Tom and Sue as 50 50 beneficiaries.

    467

    00:22:12.615 --> 00:22:16.785

    They're going to get that stepped up basis, 125,000 to each,

    468

    00:22:17.285 --> 00:22:19.385

    um, and they can do as they please with that account.

    469

    00:22:19.845 --> 00:22:22.625

    Now the checking and CD accounts, since she failed

    470

    00:22:22.625 --> 00:22:26.145

    to put beneficiaries on those accounts, unfortunately

    471

    00:22:26.255 --> 00:22:28.825

    that is going to go through through probate.

    472

    00:22:28.825 --> 00:22:32.105

    And probate is not a fun process. It's expensive.

    473

    00:22:32.605 --> 00:22:34.745

    Uh, it tends to last many months,

    474

    00:22:35.265 --> 00:22:36.785

    possibly even a year, two years.

    475

    00:22:37.285 --> 00:22:38.945

    Um, so it's not a fun process.

    476

    00:22:39.395 --> 00:22:42.185

    Those assets are going to be exposed to probate.

    477

    00:22:42.765 --> 00:22:46.345

    Um, tax deferred account, the rollover IRA million dollars.

    478

    00:22:46.895 --> 00:22:50.305

    Same scenario. Uh, that's going to go to the kids 50 50.

    479

    00:22:51.125 --> 00:22:53.185

    Be aware of RMDs tenure rule.

    480

    00:22:53.925 --> 00:22:57.905

    The Roth IRA that is unfortunately going to go to Ron.

    481

    00:22:57.925 --> 00:23:02.505

    So Sally failed to update her beneficiaries failed to, uh,

    482

    00:23:02.505 --> 00:23:04.785

    meet with a financial planner or a state attorney.

    483

    00:23:05.805 --> 00:23:08.625

    That's unfortunately going to go to her ex-husband Ron.

    484

    00:23:08.645 --> 00:23:11.065

    So beneficiaries, if we're playing euchre

    485

    00:23:11.655 --> 00:23:13.545

    beneficiaries are, are Trump.

    486

    00:23:13.545 --> 00:23:14.905

    And really not only the Trump card,

    487

    00:23:14.905 --> 00:23:16.825

    but also I would say the right bower.

    488

    00:23:17.045 --> 00:23:21.065

    So it's very difficult, um, nearly impossible to, to argue

    489

    00:23:21.255 --> 00:23:24.625

    with beneficiaries that are listed on investment accounts.

    490

    00:23:24.695 --> 00:23:27.545

    Whether you have a trust wills, no matter

    491

    00:23:27.545 --> 00:23:30.865

    what beneficiaries tend to, to Trump all in those scenarios.

    492

    00:23:31.565 --> 00:23:34.065

    So Ron's going to get the a hundred thousand free

    493

    00:23:34.065 --> 00:23:36.105

    and clear in the inherited Roth IRA.

    494

    00:23:37.455 --> 00:23:41.115

    And then again, the primary residence, um, stays the same

    495

    00:23:41.115 --> 00:23:42.395

    as as the last scenario.

    496

    00:23:42.695 --> 00:23:44.835

    So a couple different nuances, moving parts,

    497

    00:23:45.385 --> 00:23:47.885

    and a little bit messier state situation there.

    498

    00:23:51.395 --> 00:23:54.215

    So as far as our process, um,

    499

    00:23:54.595 --> 00:23:56.695

    and I should say, you know, we've, we decided

    500

    00:23:56.695 --> 00:24:00.375

    to do this webinar because we have unfortunately had

    501

    00:24:00.695 --> 00:24:03.135

    probably a handful of deaths already this year.

    502

    00:24:03.995 --> 00:24:06.375

    Um, so we're getting a lot more familiar with the,

    503

    00:24:06.555 --> 00:24:10.335

    the process of what needs to happen, what tends to happen.

    504

    00:24:10.905 --> 00:24:13.215

    We've seen good outcomes as far

    505

    00:24:13.215 --> 00:24:14.455

    as estate planning scenarios,

    506

    00:24:14.455 --> 00:24:16.335

    and we've seen a little bit more messy outcomes

    507

    00:24:16.395 --> 00:24:17.575

    of estate planning scenarios.

    508

    00:24:17.575 --> 00:24:19.095

    So this is truly coming from the heart.

    509

    00:24:19.595 --> 00:24:21.575

    Um, so this is our process.

    510

    00:24:21.885 --> 00:24:23.255

    Once we receive the news,

    511

    00:24:23.875 --> 00:24:25.735

    we review immediately any estate

    512

    00:24:25.975 --> 00:24:27.095

    documents that we have on file.

    513

    00:24:27.635 --> 00:24:30.375

    And when we work with, with families, individuals,

    514

    00:24:30.375 --> 00:24:33.615

    and we serve the, the individuals we work with, we tend

    515

    00:24:33.635 --> 00:24:37.295

    to collect state planning documents, trusts, wills, powers

    516

    00:24:37.295 --> 00:24:40.655

    of attorneys, just to make sure we have it on file in case

    517

    00:24:41.355 --> 00:24:43.175

    the beneficiaries aren't able to find it.

    518

    00:24:43.595 --> 00:24:46.295

    Um, maybe they didn't ha communicate well,

    519

    00:24:46.295 --> 00:24:47.535

    didn't have it laying around the house.

    520

    00:24:47.755 --> 00:24:51.215

    Not easy to find. We like to keep those on file so

    521

    00:24:51.215 --> 00:24:53.735

    that way when something happens, we're able to get in there

    522

    00:24:53.735 --> 00:24:56.575

    and review, okay, step by step this is what should happen.

    523

    00:24:57.395 --> 00:25:01.415

    Um, next we typically contact beneficiaries either

    524

    00:25:01.475 --> 00:25:03.575

    of a trust account or beneficiaries tied

    525

    00:25:03.575 --> 00:25:04.815

    to their investment accounts.

    526

    00:25:05.395 --> 00:25:08.335

    Um, we are going to reach out for a death certificate

    527

    00:25:08.355 --> 00:25:10.895

    and at that point we are going to be able to

    528

    00:25:11.825 --> 00:25:13.655

    coordinate directly with beneficiaries,

    529

    00:25:13.805 --> 00:25:15.615

    open necessary accounts that need to be open,

    530

    00:25:16.165 --> 00:25:19.935

    give them a heads up on tax implications, uh, rules,

    531

    00:25:19.965 --> 00:25:22.775

    regulations around whatever accounts they're inheriting.

    532

    00:25:23.195 --> 00:25:25.375

    And then we try to make it as seamless of a,

    533

    00:25:25.595 --> 00:25:27.175

    of a process as possible.

    534

    00:25:27.275 --> 00:25:28.815

    You know, it's, it's emotional time.

    535

    00:25:29.245 --> 00:25:32.495

    There's no need to put more stress on money, unfortunately,

    536

    00:25:32.525 --> 00:25:35.215

    when someone passes, uh, that tends to

    537

    00:25:35.835 --> 00:25:38.415

    be the number one issue with family during a time

    538

    00:25:38.415 --> 00:25:41.055

    where they should be connecting, um,

    539

    00:25:41.195 --> 00:25:42.535

    and not be stressed about money.

    540

    00:25:42.635 --> 00:25:45.415

    So it's important to make sure ducks are in order,

    541

    00:25:45.935 --> 00:25:47.655

    documents are located, um,

    542

    00:25:47.795 --> 00:25:49.095

    and things are where they need to be.

    543

    00:25:52.765 --> 00:25:54.185

    So based on that, again,

    544

    00:25:54.215 --> 00:25:56.305

    preparation leads to a smooth process.

    545

    00:25:56.655 --> 00:25:58.625

    Make sure you know where your documents are,

    546

    00:25:58.785 --> 00:26:02.105

    whether it's will's, trusts, powers of attorneys, uh,

    547

    00:26:02.135 --> 00:26:03.225

    make sure you're going through

    548

    00:26:03.285 --> 00:26:04.865

    and updating your beneficiaries.

    549

    00:26:05.085 --> 00:26:07.865

    We saw in the scenario we don't want anyone on

    550

    00:26:07.965 --> 00:26:11.625

    as beneficiary to investment accounts, checking TOD,

    551

    00:26:11.905 --> 00:26:14.745

    anything of that nature, uh, that we don't want on there.

    552

    00:26:15.825 --> 00:26:18.125

    And then again, have the, have the tough conversations

    553

    00:26:18.125 --> 00:26:19.205

    with your beneficiaries.

    554

    00:26:19.835 --> 00:26:22.645

    It's a little morbid. It's, it's hard to do, it's difficult

    555

    00:26:22.645 --> 00:26:24.925

    to do, but it's one and done.

    556

    00:26:24.925 --> 00:26:26.565

    Just have the conversation with them.

    557

    00:26:27.305 --> 00:26:29.725

    Set expectations of what you want when you pass

    558

    00:26:30.185 --> 00:26:32.445

    and as well as, as you know, setting the stage for

    559

    00:26:32.445 --> 00:26:33.685

    what they want when they pass.

    560

    00:26:34.385 --> 00:26:36.605

    And then have a conversation with your trusted advisor,

    561

    00:26:36.715 --> 00:26:39.805

    financial team, a state attorney, uh, making sure

    562

    00:26:39.805 --> 00:26:42.845

    that you are able to get the necessary documents in place

    563

    00:26:43.345 --> 00:26:44.765

    to get assets to who you want,

    564

    00:26:44.875 --> 00:26:47.045

    when you want the way you want, uh,

    565

    00:26:47.055 --> 00:26:48.325

    after something does happen.

    566

    00:26:48.625 --> 00:26:51.805

    So, um, I would say, you know, again,

    567

    00:26:52.075 --> 00:26:53.565

    make sure you're having the conversations.

    568

    00:26:54.235 --> 00:26:55.605

    Make sure you're reaching out to your children.

    569

    00:26:55.745 --> 00:26:58.045

    If we need to have a meeting with the beneficiaries

    570

    00:26:58.045 --> 00:26:59.885

    of your accounts, we absolutely will

    571

    00:27:00.465 --> 00:27:03.645

    can bring them in on estate plan, estate attorney meetings.

    572

    00:27:04.065 --> 00:27:07.485

    Um, so make sure parties that are involved are aware

    573

    00:27:07.485 --> 00:27:09.165

    of all the different moving pieces

    574

    00:27:09.195 --> 00:27:11.605

    that you might have going on in your financial picture.

    575

    00:27:12.665 --> 00:27:16.845

    Um, so that is all I had for today.

    576

    00:27:17.745 --> 00:27:21.085

    Uh, I guess, Tara, are there any questions that,

    577

    00:27:21.155 --> 00:27:24.085

    that popped up during our webinar together?

    578

    00:27:25.955 --> 00:27:27.215

    We don't have any yet.

    579

    00:27:27.355 --> 00:27:30.695

    Um, but if anybody would like to type into the q

    580

    00:27:30.695 --> 00:27:33.935

    and a box, uh, we can get that answered for you.

    581

    00:27:59.785 --> 00:28:03.125

    All right. Maybe leave it open for about 15 more seconds

    582

    00:28:03.305 --> 00:28:04.685

    and see if any questions come in.

    583

    00:28:04.685 --> 00:28:07.605

    Otherwise, um, you can always shoot us an email, um,

    584

    00:28:07.635 --> 00:28:10.285

    give us a call if you think of anything after the fact.

    585

    00:28:44.855 --> 00:28:46.515

    No, we did not get any questions,

    586

    00:28:46.515 --> 00:28:47.955

    so you must have answered 'em all trend.

    587

    00:28:49.975 --> 00:28:51.985

    Yeah, I will add. So, um, you know,

    588

    00:28:52.015 --> 00:28:54.585

    like primary residence property, um,

    589

    00:28:55.455 --> 00:28:58.465

    that can be a little sticky as far as a stepped up basis,

    590

    00:28:58.815 --> 00:29:00.305

    step up cost basis rule.

    591

    00:29:00.805 --> 00:29:03.145

    Um, really depends on what kind of trust you have.

    592

    00:29:03.145 --> 00:29:05.625

    If it's in or out of the trust, depends on, you know,

    593

    00:29:05.625 --> 00:29:07.825

    like there's a, the lady bird deed out there.

    594

    00:29:08.365 --> 00:29:11.025

    Um, so again, it just involves a conversation

    595

    00:29:11.025 --> 00:29:13.385

    with either an attorney, financial advisor

    596

    00:29:13.685 --> 00:29:17.025

    or both, uh, to kind of set the stage on what happens

    597

    00:29:17.045 --> 00:29:20.785

    to my property as well as as my assets, um, after death.

    598

    00:29:20.925 --> 00:29:22.745

    So yeah, a couple different nuances.

    599

    00:29:22.815 --> 00:29:25.825

    It's everyone's situations is different, so it's important

    600

    00:29:25.825 --> 00:29:26.945

    to have that conversation

    601

    00:29:27.005 --> 00:29:28.625

    and get the expectation ahead of time.

    602

    00:29:50.975 --> 00:29:54.515

    All right, if that is, if we don't have any questions,

    603

    00:29:54.625 --> 00:29:56.075

    that will conclude today's webinar.

    604

    Again, there will be a replay link available to those

    605

    00:30:00.995 --> 00:30:02.035
