Family And Retirement Planning

Do your kids know what to do with an inheritance or will the IRS take the lead? Have you planned for what your spouse’s income will look like after you’re gone? Retirement planning doesn’t stop with your personal goals, it extends to the people you love. In this episode, Tyler and Toni explore how retirement decisions affect your spouse, your kids, and the legacy you leave behind. They break down why filing status changes can lead to unexpected tax bills and how to plan ahead so your loved ones aren’t left scrambling.

You'll also hear about the major changes to IRA inheritance rules, why today's tax-deferred accounts can create tomorrow’s tax headaches, and how to use proactive strategies to minimize taxes and maximize your legacy. If your plan doesn't account for survivorship, tax implications, and wealth transfer, this episode may be your wake-up call to take action before it’s too late.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:
