Retirees should secure themselves first, and if you’re all set there, then consider a few other things, such as the impact on the children and tax issues.
The first SECURE Act extended the beginning date for taking required minimum distributions from the year after the account owner reaches age 70½ until they reach age 72.

If your beneficiary designations are out of date and you die without updating those designations, your assets could go the wrong people–a former spouse, for example–no matter what your will says.
If you’re set to inherit, you may be wondering what estate expenses are paid by the beneficiary. The answer can depend on what assets are passed on to you when a family member or loved one passes away.
One of the essential steps in the probate process is filing an inventory of all the assets that are part of the estate.
