Many advisors use various kinds of technology to help them plan for and communicate with clients. And in many cases, the workflows and other systematized processes advisors employ are self-built, or at the very least, highly customized by the advisors who benefit from them. But lifetime RMDs are not the only things impacted by this change. Notably, the change impacts Non-Designated Beneficiaries after the death of the retirement account owner, as well as spousal beneficiaries who choose to remain beneficiaries of an inherited retirement account.
Another important side effect of the delay in the age at which RMDs must begin is that it potentially enhances two benefits available to surviving spouse beneficiaries who choose to remain a beneficiary of the IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan account as opposed to, for instance, rolling the inherited account over into a retirement account in their own name.
The two benefits are:. To maintain consistency with the direct change to the age at which RMDs begin, the SECURE Act includes language that applies the age change to these important spousal beneficiary benefits. Thus, surviving spouse beneficiaries who establish and maintain an account as an inherited IRA or, where the plan allows, an inherited plan account will not have to take RMDs from the inherited account until the decedent would have reached age Similarly, if the spouse-beneficiary dies, themselves, before that time, they will be treated as the original account owner, and their beneficiaries will be treated as having inherited directly from the original retirement account owner.
