Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets
For a growing number of Americans, their IRA or other qualified retirement plan may be one of their largest assets. However, those who are planning to leave that nest egg behind for their children often do not realize the massive tax bite (as much as 85%) that could be taken out at the time it is passed to their heirs.
For those who may have significant retirement plan assets, potential estate and income taxes on any part of those assets that might still be in one’s estate at death can be avoided by making the Ocean Institute the beneficiary of any unused plan assets.
For more information about potential gifts of retirement funds, please contact Dan Stetson at (949) 496-2274.
