A lot of people now choose to pass on a Roth IRA account to an heir. This allows the earnings of investments in a Roth IRA to dramatically increase over the years. If you want to provide an heir with the true "gift that keeps on giving," a Roth IRA is the perfect place to start. A Roth IRA allows people to enjoy incredible savings on their investments. Without a Roth IRA, stocks within an account would likely have to be taxed at a rate of 35%. This can cut out a lot of funds that were intended to be passed on to heirs.
