Suggestions wanted for article topics

[Bruce Steiner]

I plan to concentrate my writing on different aspects of planning for retirement plan distributions.

My last few articles were on the (now repealed) grandfather exemption from the penalties on excess distributions/accumulations (2/96 issue of Estate Planning), spousal rollovers where the spouse was not the named beneficiary (10/97 issue of Estate Planning) and avoiding the penalty on pre-59 1/2 distributions via substantially equal periodic payments (scheduled for the 12/99 issue of Estate Planning).

Any suggestions as to topics for future articles would be appreciated.
