- 1Conduit Trusts for IRAs Now Backfire Under the 10-Year Rule●A $1 Million IRA Left to a "Conduit Trust" Forces Every Dollar Out Within 10 Years Anyway. The Trust Estate Lawyers Sold Before 2020 Now Does the Opposite of What It Was Built For, and Here's What Replaces It
Estate planning commentators say a $1 million IRA left to a conduit trust no longer protects heirs the way it once did.

Planners are steering clients toward accumulation or discretionary trusts instead, and lawyers are revising older estate plans nationwide.
