The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (or “SECURE”) Act went into effect on January 1, 2020. The most critical aspect of this law is how retirement accounts lost the ability to be “stretched,” although there are certain individuals that still qualify. These changes will impact how your clients transfer wealth to their beneficiaries and allows them to revisit their existing plans as any previous advice given is probably invalid. Get equipped with the changes to assist your clients through misconceptions, incorrect information, and outdated planning techniques. Clients with IRA trusts will be affected the most and need professionals to guide them to better solutions.
