Most people don't realize that a current tax rule could send a large portion of their inherited IRA to taxes instead of their heirs. A little advance planning can make a big difference.
A current tax rule now forces most heirs to withdraw an inherited IRA within 10 years — triggering a significant tax bill in the process. A Charitable Remainder Trust can receive the full IRA balance tax-free, pay your heirs income over their lifetime, and still leave a lasting gift to a cause you care about. How it works in your situation, however, depends on factors that a quick Google search won't uncover.
Without a CRT → heir inherits IRA → forced out in 10 years → large tax hit
With a CRT → trust inherits IRA → pays heir income for life → taxes spread out over decades
