How to Create Generational Wealth: Tips for High Net Worth Individuals
Thursday, 16 April, 2026
In this episode, Logan DeGraeve, CFP®, and Corey Hulstein, CPA, distinguish between reactive tax preparation and proactive forward-looking tax planning . We analyze the IRC §408 implications of the SECURE Act's 10-year rule, which requires non-spouse beneficiaries to liquidate inherited IRAs within a decade, often creating a significant tax burden for heirs in their peak earning years. The discussion covers the "Silo Effect"—the financial danger that occurs when a CPA, attorney, and advisor fail to coordinate—exemplified by families who draft complex trusts but fail to properly title and fund them, leading to unnecessary probate. _____________________ Educational Tool: Access the Retirement Plan Checklist to benchmark your current 401(k) and Social Security strategy against 2026 inflation.
