If you could Divorce the IRS, how fast would you do it?

For many high-net-worth retirees their IRA account(s) are their highest taxable asset.  The longer your money stays in this type of account, the more money you will pay the IRS.

  Whenever a highly appreciated asset is sold-real estate, a concentrated stock position or a closely held business- the IRS will demand that you pay them a share of your profits.

  Death is not the end of taxes.  High-net-worth retirees who have worked hard and accomplished great success often find a large part of their wealth transferred to the state and federal government(s) before it is handed to their family's next generation.
