What is a Roth IRA and how can one go about investing in one?
IRA stands for individual retirement account. A Roth IRA is a retirement account that you put money into in order to invest. The money you put in has already been taxed on your income tax returns. You put money in, invest it, it grows(hopefully), and when you take it out at retirement, the gains on your investments don't get taxed. If you take it out before retirement, however, there are tax penalties, so don't take it out. You can get a Roth IRA for free from most banks and online stock trading companies. Roth IRA's are different from Traditional 401k's in that you put money in a Traditional 401k through your employer pre-tax and the gains get taxed when you take it out at retirement.

Yes, you will have to pay taxes. You can take the money lump sum and pay the taxes this year, or you can roll it over into an inherited IRA and pay the taxes as the money is distributed. You will be taxed at your normal marginal tax rate.
What can I find out from an IRA calculator?
An Ira caulator is used to find out how much money you will gain in the future with money that you invest now. By using your monthly contribution, years until retirement and estimated annual inflation you can get a realistic prediction of how much money you will get from your investment in the future. However be carefull for there are two kinds of Ira caculators a regualr Ira and a Roth Ira, research what type of Ira is best for you and do not go by just the caculator alone.
How do you merge IRA accounts in different banks into one?
Once you know which bank you want to keep all of your IRA's in, then simply take your latest statement from the other banks to that bank, and they will do a trustee to trustee transfer. The money will go from account to account and will never touch your hands. You should consider something more than just CD's or Money market accounts for your IRA's.
What way can you transfer assets from 401k to Roth Ira?
You can have the money automatically transferred from your checking or savings accounts right into your 401K to your Roth ira. Go to irs.gov for more information.
If you file for bankruptcy then shortly after you come into a decent sum of money can creditors go after that money?
The money might be included in the bankruptcy even is a discharged has occurred. The time between the discharge and the receiving of the money would be the deciding factor. If the bankruptcy has not yet been discharged the money might be included in the procedure as assets, unless it held exemption status.
If you receive a small pension after filing bankruptcy do you get to keep it it?
In virtually every case pensions are not lost in a bankruptcy even if you go into a banrkruptcy with a pension or a 401K or an IRA. There was a US Supreme Court case from 1992 I believe (Patterson v. Shumate) that basically said that pensions funds are not part of the bankruptcy estate and therefore not subject to the trustee taking them to pay your debts.
If someone designates a beneficiary does the money have to go to the estate or does it go directly to the beneficiary?
In relation to an IRA account or some similar trust account, the money goes DIRECTLY to the beneficiary and is not a part of the estate at all
