Today is a good reminder that a 529 plan is more than a college savings account. For families thinking about generational wealth, it's one of the most powerful and underused tools in the estate planning toolkit.
Here's what most people don't know:
- You can "superfund" a 529 with up to $95,000 per beneficiary (5-year gift tax averaging) and remove it from your taxable estate immediately.
- Unused funds can roll to a Roth IRA for the beneficiary under SECURE Act 2.0 (up to $35,000 lifetime limit).
- You can change the beneficiary to a sibling, grandchild, or another family member without penalty.
- A Dynasty 529, funded early, can compound tax-free across multiple generations.
Wealth isn't just what you leave behind. It's the education, the values, and the tools you pass forward.
Talk to your Clarity Wealth advisor about how a 529 fits into your family's broader legacy plan.
