Protecting Your Wealth

You’ve worked hard, saved, invested smartly and built some assets. But to ensure that comfortable retirement you’re planning for, you’ll have to stay on guard. In this special report, Forbes offers timely advice on protecting your growing nest egg from a variety of threats---inflation, fraudsters, litigation and yes, even your own actions, such as borrowing from a 401(k). There’s a check list of moves to make at 50, as well as tips on making sure any wealth you leave behind goes to the loved ones or charities you intended, and isn’t eaten away by an estate fight or state death taxes.
