The Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act made changes to contributions and distribution rules for retirement accounts effective for 2020 and after. Since then, additional guidance has been issued by the IRS. Many of these were largely ignored for 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant temporary changes made by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. But, for 2021, advisors must get back on the retirement track of helping their clients take advantage of the SECURE Act provision and ensure that beneficiaries make the best of the distribution limitations that now apply to designated beneficiaries.

Join Bruce D. Steiner and Denise Appleby in the exclusive LISI Webinar as they explain the key provisions and provide solutions that advisors must use to help their clients maximize the SECURE Act benefits and minimize any negative impact on estate and distribution planning for beneficiaries. Topics that will be covered include:
