The Standalone IRA Inheritance Trust®
Still an Effective IRA Planning Strategy for Your Clients
Following the SECURE Act 2.0!
One of the biggest breakthroughs in estate planning in the past few years was the creation of a standalone trust instrument for IRAs, 401(k)’s and other retirement assets. This trust strategy, which effectively is described as a “Living Trust for an IRA“SM, was not only created to provide better estate planning options for retirement assets, but the Internal Revenue Service also gave its stamp of approval on the strategy back in September 2005 (see PLR200537044).
Estate planning attorney, Philip Kavesh, developed the IRA Inheritance Trust® and has not only drafted thousands of these trusts for his clients, but he’s also tested the strategy through the proper post-death administration of this trust for his clients as well. And now, this unique planning strategy is available for other attorneys across the country as well through our IRA Inheritance Trust® Legal Document Form & Training Package.
In December 2019, the passing of the SECURE Act—one of the most significant changes to come to retirement and IRA planning in decades—dramatically altered the way we plan for our clients and their IRAs. IRA Trusts still are an effective strategy for certain clients with needs for both income tax reduction and predator protection. With the help of nationally renowned attorney, Ed Morrow, this document has now been updated and upgraded to reflect the necessary changes for the SECURE Act 2.0 of 2022.
See the Details tab for more information about what is included in this package.

Hi Phil, we meet at Heckerling and I bought the IRA Trust package. Out of the park grand slam ! Have made over $22,000 since January on the IRA Trust! Could you send me more detailed info on Cap. Gains Trust and the Irrevocable Trust package. Is the Irrevocable Trust a Spousal lifetime access trust? From on line stuff I cant tell.
Thanks !!!
Bruce
I’ve had great success selling the IRA Inheritance Trust as people come in for your Living Trust planning. As a matter of fact, I’ve never NOT sold one! It’s only been a very short time since I got the package and I’ve already sold 8 trusts so far!
A huge thanks to Phil for making these materials available. We are making a lot of money right now utilizing his IRA Inheritance Trust®.
The IRA Inheritance Trust® is the best thing since sliced butter! I’ve been using Phil’s legal form since he started licensing it to attorneys back in 2004 and we’ve sold hundreds of them! Thank you, Phil!
