The Best Estate Plan for Married PA Resident IRA Owners After the Secure Act: Our Tax-Savvy Thinking
- The profoundly negative impact of the SECURE Act on Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) of Inherited IRAs and retirement plans. How this change will diminish your legacy, and what you can do to minimize its impact.
