Advanta IRA Administration Presents Critical Webinar Regarding Inherited and Beneficiary IRAs
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) October 08, 2013 -- Bequeathing IRAs as an inheritance must be planned as carefully as one plans the investments made within those accounts. Why? Inherited IRAs have a few rules that differ from ordinary IRAs. While these rules are not daunting, it is critical to fully discuss the options and requirements with an accountant or certified financial planner in order to achieve the desired benefits and to help maximize the returns in an inherited retirement account.
"The details of inherited IRAs can often be complicated—not so much for the original owner, but for the beneficiary if these details are not properly set up before the time comes to pass the IRAs on," says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Administration. The original owners of these IRAs must ensure any beneficiary is properly named. Additionally, the beneficiary of an inherited IRA, once it is passed down, must also fall within compliance of special rules of these accounts. Not doing so can result in considerable pain come tax time for the beneficiary. "When handled properly," says Callahan, "the benefits and tax-sheltered growth of inherited IRAs may extend over future generations."
Advanta IRA is a nationwide administrator of self-directed IRAs, but does not sell investments or offer financial advice. Advanta IRA does provide relevant and valuable information for clients and other investors by hosting educational events such as this one. This important webinar, covers a number of topics pertaining to inherited IRAs: types of beneficiaries such as spousal and non-spousal; the options each person has upon inheriting an IRA; the unique tax treatment afforded traditional vs. Roth inherited IRAs, and the importance of ‘retitling.’
Those who truly wish to provide for the beneficiaries of their IRAs and leave a lasting legacy do not want to miss this webinar.
