Can you transfer an inherited IRA to another beneficiary?

Yes, an inherited IRA can be transferred to another beneficiary through a process called a "trustee-to-trustee transfer" or a "direct transfer." This allows the new beneficiary to continue the tax-deferred status of the IRA.


Who pays when a transfer is complete trustee or beneficiary?

In a completed transfer, the payment typically comes from the trust's assets, which are managed by the trustee. The trustee is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the trust are fulfilled, including making distributions to beneficiaries as specified in the trust document. Therefore, it is ultimately the trust that pays, not the trustee or beneficiary personally.


Can a trustee also be the beneficiary?

Yes, a trustee can also be a beneficiary of a trust. However, this arrangement can lead to potential conflicts of interest, as the trustee is responsible for managing the trust assets in the best interest of all beneficiaries. It's important to ensure that the trust document clearly outlines the trustee's responsibilities and the rights of all beneficiaries to avoid any legal complications. Consulting with a legal professional is advisable when structuring such trusts.


Person who holds assets in a trust for beneficiary?

That person is called the trustee. The trustee has the legal authority to handle the trust assets according to the provisions set forth in the trust.


What would you think if a trustee asks you to sign away your rights to a trust so he can reinvest the money?

A person with assets sometimes decides to set aside some of those assets in a trust that will pay over the profits, or assets for the use and benefit of another person. A trustee is appointed to act in regards to the trust property. Generally, the power to reinvest the trust property is included in the powers of the trustee. A beneficiary would not be required to sign away rights as a beneficiary so the trust funds could be reinvested. The beneficiary is someone the donor cares about. The trust instrument, written by the donor, directs what the trustee may do with the trust property and how the payments must be made to the beneficiary. The trustee MUST follow the provisions of the trust unless the trust instrument allows her/him to use discretion. To your question: It raises suspicion that the trustee has asked that you "sign away your rights in the trust". You should seek the advice of an attorney who could review the trust and the actions of the trustee and advise you on how you should proceed in order to protect your interests as a beneficiary. Until then, sign nothing.
