IRAs and SNTs (Feb 2020)
Many parents’ IRAs and 401(k)s are a significant part of their estate, and they may want to leave it to their child with disabilities to provide for his or her future care. Explore various issues that arise when incorporating retirement benefits into special needs planning, including taxation and SSI/Medicaid disqualification. Whether the distribution is outright, over a period of years, or to a conduit or accumulation special needs trust, proper planning can maximize the benefit to the child with special needs.
