    We’re currently in the midst of an entire generation inheriting over $54 trillion, but completely unprepared to manage it due to lack of financial conversations within the household, while both spouses were alive. In this powerful episode of The Wealth Cafe, we examine the baby boomer generation and why the transferring of wealth from husbands to wives has become fraught with roadblocks for the surviving spouse because of questions left unasked and unanswered.

    The Dangers of Making Beneficiary Designation Mistakes

    Discussing end of life with loved ones and designating beneficiaries to pass your wealth on to can be very uncomfortable. However, not properly planning for how your legacy will live on could cause major relationship erosion between family members if they end up having to fight it out in probate court to lay claim to the assets you’ve left behind. That’s why on this episode of The Wealth Cafe, we want to prepare you for the inevitable by providing real life examples of some scary situations we’ve seen take place that could have ultimately been avoided with proper planning and guidance. So, if you want to set future generations up for success by better understanding the rules and regulations in this day and age of estate and legacy planning, make sure to give this a listen.    What we’ll cover: ✅ Best practices when it comes to 401(k), IRA, life insurance, & TOD/POD accounts. ✅ How to pre-emptively protect your family from probate.  ✅ The 10-year distribution rule. ✅ Real-life examples.  So, if you’re serious about properly passing on your wealth to the next generation and having as little family strife as possible when you’re gone, we highly encourage you to connect with your financial team to start planning. This is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly and should be a conversation that takes place every time you experience a major life event. You may not have control over how long you have left in life, but you have full control over where your wealth should go once you’re gone.  ☕️For more tips and advice, make sure to subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode! 🔍INSTAGRAM:  /  / https://www.instagram.com/tanisfingroup/   LINKEDIN:  /  / https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-tanis/  YOUTUBE:  /  / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHxRZmUZwZVHD4ihCu2iK-w  BLOG:  /  / https://tanisfingroup.com/blog/  ------------ 🔗CONNECT Website: https://tanisfingroup.com/   Email: caroline@tanisfingroup.com
