Do you know what kills more large IRA accounts than anything else? – Admiration. Admiration kills large IRA accounts because the owner, and even the financial advisor who helped them grow the account, fail to plan for the ultimate income and potential estate taxes due on the balance. Instead, they get caught up in growing the account to the largest possible balance, admiring each statement and deriving great satisfaction from their savings and investment success. Come and learn how to leverage an IRA into a legacy asset that supports not only the owner and their spouse, but also several generations of beneficiaries.
