In this episode, tax experts Neil Wilding and Becky Swansburg of Stonewood Financial break down the inherited IRA crisis advisors can't afford to ignore — and the legacy planning strategies that can fix it.

We cover the SECURE Act's 10-year rule and why it's changed everything about inherited IRA planning, the "widow's penalty" and why most advisors never bring it up, why your clients' IRA statement is an illusion, Roth conversions vs. life insurance as a legacy planning strategy, bold predictions for 2026 including midterms and what it means for tax planning, and why taxes are a planning problem — not a product conversation.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡:
✅ A simple way to reframe the life insurance conversation so advisors stop leading with the product and start leading with the tax code

✅ How to quantify the widow's penalty for a couple sitting in front of you — and why it can represent a 30% increase in taxes overnight

✅ Why the best time to do legacy tax planning is always in today's tax environment, not tomorrow's

Neil and Becky are also co-authors of The Road Less Taxed: How to Take Control of Your Retirement from Washington.

If your clients have significant assets in tax-deferred accounts, this conversation is not optional.
