3. How do you slit it with a bunch of folks without them being taxed again

4. Can leave payments to beneficiaries

if you have any knowledge or ideas on this please share ...........thanks, Merry Christmas
if you’re over 55 years old, you might as well take it all in a lump sum now and spend it. You’re not gonna be able to enjoy it at age 85 if you’re even still alive.
