Planning for the Distribution of Your Retirement Accounts is Essential

Planning for the distribution of your retirement accounts is as important as accumulating the money in them. To ensure that the money is properly distributed be sure to name your beneficiaries, withdrawal the correct amount of money required by law starting at age 701/2, know the beneficiaries who can and cannot rollover your account, and understand the tax laws regarding your account.

Here are three books that discuss distributing your retirement account:

Parlay Your IRA into a Family Fortune by Ed Slott, a certified public accountant.
Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie Choate, a noted author and speaker on retirement planning.
Barry Picker's Guide to Retirement Distribution Planning by Barry Picker, a certified public accountant.

Also, discussing your retirement account planning with a qualified retirement advisor would be money well spent.
