The Inheritor's Guide: What to Consider Before Expecting an Inheritance - Ep. 91

The first part of a two-part series where we explore the intricacies of inheritance from two perspectives: the inheritor and the gifter.

This week, we focus on the inheritor's point of view, discussing why it’s essential for everyone—especially those in the oil & gas profession—to consider the implications of potential future assets.

Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

• Why Everyone Should Care: Even if you think you won’t inherit anything, the upcoming great wealth transfer will have significant macroeconomic consequences that could affect you.
• Understanding Your Financial Plan: We discuss how to approach the question of whether to include potential inheritances in your financial planning. Should you factor it in, and if so, to what extent?
• The Importance of Asset Types: We break down different types of assets you might inherit, such as brokerage accounts versus IRAs, and how their tax implications can drastically change your financial outlook.
• Liquidity and Control: We highlight the importance of understanding the liquidity of inherited assets, especially when it comes to privately held businesses.
• Real-Life Scenarios: We share examples to illustrate how different situations can impact your financial planning decisions.
