Sometimes. If you have an asset, for example, that’s income reducing, like an IRA, or a 401K, or maybe you have a business interest that pays some income, then whoever inherits those assets from you will also pay income on those assets. Now, how much they pay and when they pay can be considered and we can take some steps to change those up, about how much and when.
