Three wealth threats families overlook: Medicaid, IRA tax traps and estate plans

Three major forces drain family wealth: Medicaid cuts threatening long-term care funding, an IRA inheritance tax trap hitting beneficiaries who must withdraw funds within 10 years, and outdated estate plans. Many families are unaware their heirs could face large tax bills on inherited retirement accounts. Experts recommend updating estate plans regularly and consulting a financial adviser to protect inheritance.

Should families be required to consult a financial adviser before finalising an estate plan?
