What You Truly Must Understand about SECURE 2.0

In this recording of a webinar originally presented to current clients and professionals, which is now being made available to everyone, Attorneys Julie Steinbacher and Landon Hodges go over in detail some of the changes brought out by the passage of SECURE 2.0, which was signed into law on Dec. 29, 2022. SECURE 2.0 is a continuation of the original SECURE Act, which became law in December 2019. Both pieces of legislation are primarily designed to increase and facilitate access to retirement savings and lower employers' costs of offering and funding retirement plans, but they also have several provisions that could affect individuals' estate planning. Even though most of the SECURE 2.0 provisions aren't effective until 2024 or later, the time to plan is NOW!

Roth IRA Conversions in a Down Market & Inflation w/Emphasis for Parents of Children w/Special Needs

In this presentation, a recording of a virtual seminar originally held live on Nov. 9, 2022, Attorney Julie Steinbacher and James Lange, CPA, Attorney and Registered Investment Advisor, go into great detail on the topic of Roth IRA conversions, with a special focus and emphasis for parents with children with special needs. With the SECURE Act nearing its three-year anniversary and it having eliminated the old "stretch" IRA, there remains a loophole in the current law for beneficiaries of IRAs that have special needs, so those individuals that may be passing on a Roth IRA to a beneficiary that has special needs will want to take this into consideration when doing their estate planning.
