“I just inherited $5 million. Now what?”
“I just inherited $5 million. Now what?” Here are the first 5 things NOT to do. Coming into a large inheritance happens more often than people think. And the reality is, it’s easy to make at least one big mistake in the first year after receiving an inheritance. So whether it’s $1M, $5M or $10M, here’s the playbook we walk clients through: First: Pause. Emotions run high when money and family collide. Give yourself time before making any big decisions. Second: Understand what you actually inherited. Investments, retirement accounts, trusts, real estate, or cash all come with different rules. Third: Watch the taxes. Step-up in basis, inherited IRA withdrawal rules, estate taxes vs income taxes. This is where mistakes get expensive. Fourth: Avoid lifestyle inflation. Sudden wealth can disappear surprisingly fast when spending ramps up. And finally: Build a plan before touching the money. A good advisor will help you turn a one-time inheritance into long-term financial security. Because inheriting money doesn’t make you wealthy. Managing it correctly does.
