To create a lasting legacy, you may need more than an IRA and a simple will. Find peace of mind for yourself and your beneficiaries with a FlexIRA.
What is a FlexIRA?
A FlexIRA is a single account that combines the tax benefits of an IRA with the flexibility, protections and control of a trust. It provides maximum control over how your assets are passed on to future generations. With a FlexIRA, you can determine who gets your assets, in what amounts, and when.
How does it work?
A FlexIRA incorporates your IRA into a comprehensive estate plan. Not only are you protecting your assets, but you are also protecting your beneficiaries by placing some controls on the distributions they may receive.
What does this mean for your legacy? Your assets are professionally managed and invested on a fiduciary basis, ensuring your wishes and the trust's assets are its primary concern.
What are the benefits of a FlexIRA?
-
Create a comprehensive estate plan for your retirement assets – including choosing who inherits in the case of the initial beneficiary's passing.
-
Designate the distribution of your IRA assets, in what amounts and when. This can be especially helpful if you are concerned about the financial sophistication of your heirs.
-
Customize your beneficiary designations – the FlexIRA is designed with flexibility so it can meet your needs. For example, you can provide for your current spouse and children from a prior marriage.
