Don't let the IRS take a big bite of your inheritance. When somebody leaves you money or property in an inheritance, I can guarantee you that paying a ton of taxes on it was not what they had planned. But here's what people don't realize. How you handle that inheritance matters just as much as how you received it, if not more. If you accept that inheritance the wrong way, you can trigger unnecessary taxes. If you title it incorrectly, you can lose control over it. If you miss the timing of the distribution, Uncle Sam's going to take a bigger cut. I have seen plenty of people lose thousands of dollars just because they didn't know the steps to take to protect what somebody left behind for them. In my Life Event Kit, I explain exactly what needs to be handled right after you get an inheritance. Comment the word legacy and I'll send it to you. Go to the link in my bio and you can get it.
