529 Plans: A Tax-Efficient Way to Fund Your Grandchildren’s Education
There are several advantages to using 529 Plans to help fund a grandchild’s education, including:

- Allows for tax-deferred growth as all earnings are withdrawn tax-free when used for permitted education purposes.
- You maintain control of the assets, unlike other types of gifts, as funds can only be used according to the will and direction of the account holder.
