Despite the current pandemic, there have been significant changes in the law which could affect your estate plan.
The SECURE ACT has dramatically changed how inherited IRAs must be distributed and has clearly limited categories of individuals who may be exempt from these changes.
One of the provisions of the CARES ACT, which passed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, permits individuals to not take their required minimum distribution (RMD) during 2020.
The NYS Budget Bill has a new provision which has significantly altered Community Medicaid rules. There is now a 30 month look back period for home care services. This provision takes effect October 1, 2020.
