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.
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.
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.
A beneficiary can access funds from a trust by following the instructions outlined in the trust document, which may involve submitting a request to the trustee and providing any necessary documentation.
You cannot get access to a trust fund. A trust is managed by a trustee and the trustee is the only person with the authority to access the trust property. The trustee must manage the trust according to the provisions set forth in the trust document. If you are a beneficiary of the trust you should ask the trustee for a copy so that you can review the terms.
A trustee and a beneficiary are essential to a trust. Without a trustee and a beneficiary there is no valid trust. They should not be the same person.
If there is (1) more than one trustee; and, (2) the trustee-beneficiary cannot act as trustee unilaterally; and (3) the other trustee is not a beneficiary of the trust, yes. If the the trustee is also designated the beneficiary, the trust fails as illusory.
No. The trustee has full control over the assets in the trust. In a 'blind trust' the trustee must be completely independent. If the beneficiary is the trustee then the trustee is not completely independent.
Yes.
No. That would invalidate the trust.
Yes, it is possible to be the sole trustee and sole beneficiary of a trust.
The lender is the beneficiary. The borrower is the trustor and the third party working for the lender is the trustee.
You cannot have the same person as grantor, trustee and beneficiary in any trust. There is no trust created in such a set up. The grantor in an irrevocable trust cannot be the trustee. The property in an irrevocable trust must be permanently separated from the grantor's control.
its a trust or a beneficiary.
Yes, a trustee can legally sue a beneficiary in a trust dispute if there is a valid reason for the lawsuit, such as breach of trust or misconduct by the beneficiary.
