With the SECURE Act’s 10-year payout rule, it becomes more important to understand how income flows from IRA to trust to beneficiary and the surprising consequences that may arise. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Bob Keebler, CPA/PFS, interviews Jere Doyle, JD, LLM. Jere responds to these questions:

From a fiduciary standpoint, what happens when an IRA is payable to a trust?
What unintended results can happen when a QTIP or conduit QTIP is in place?
Why is flowcharting and spreadsheeting how the estate plan will pay out so crucial to planning?
How can separately managed accounts get around the fiduciary accounting income allocation rules?
What changes when paying out from a Roth IRA to a trust?
