If your dad had a retirement account and passed away without a will, you may need to contact the retirement account provider and provide them with the necessary documentation to establish your beneficiary status. This could include a death certificate, proof of relationship to your dad, and any other required information. The retirement account provider will then determine if you are listed as a beneficiary on the account.
It depends on the terms outlined in the deceased person's will and retirement account. If the sole beneficiary is named as the beneficiary in the retirement account documentation, then they may be entitled to receive the funds. However, if there are specific instructions in the will regarding the distribution of the retirement account, those would generally take precedence.
Please contact your retirement account provider or the institution managing your retirement funds to inquire about the status of your retirement check. They should be able to provide you with the information you need regarding its delivery or deposit.
A good place to begin gathering information about starting a retirement account is any local bank, especially a bank at which the person is already a client. There, one can request information from an advisor about all the options available to them when beginning to save for retirement years.

The beneficiary chosen by the policy owner would be the legitimate beneficiary. If no beneficiary was named then the retirement account will be paid to the estate and will be distributed to the heirs-at-law under the state laws of intestacy.

No, the inherited funds (beneficiary IRA) have to remain in inherited (beneficiary) form. So the account/funds can only be distributed out of the beneficary IRA as a distribution or transfer to another alike roth beneficiary account at another firm. However, the deceased account can be transferred into the surviving spouse Roth IRA (or transfer to a beneficiary IRA account). A non-spouse doesn't have this option- they can only transfer to their beneficiary IRA account that they opened.
If it is your sole account you should always name a beneficiary. The bank will assist you if you visit any branch. If no beneficiary was named the funds in the account become part of the owner's estate upon death. If the account is a joint account with the right of survivorship the full ownership will pass automatically to the surviving joint owner (who should then name a beneficiary through the bank).
To find out who you designated as your beneficiary, check the official documents related to your account or policy, such as your life insurance policy, retirement accounts, or wills. You can also contact the financial institution or company that holds the account or policy, as they can provide you with the beneficiary information. If you have a lawyer or financial advisor, they may also have records of your beneficiary designations.
The wife can be added as a beneficiary. There can only be one name/social per IRA registration, thus Individual Retirement Account.
No one other than the owner of the account can change the POD beneficiary. However, there is a conceivable possibility that a person with a sole account naming a POD beneficiary later added a joint owner to that account. Upon the death of the original owner that account would become the sole property of the surviving joint owner who could then change the POD beneficiary.
An irrevocable beneficiary is someone named in a life insurance policy or retirement account who cannot be removed or changed without their consent. This designation provides the beneficiary with guaranteed rights to any proceeds from the policy or account once the policyholder passes away. The policyholder cannot modify the beneficiary designation unilaterally once it is established as irrevocable.
You need to speak with a tax professional. Contributions to an Individual Retirement Account come from an individual's earnings and are limited by the IRS.
If you are the surviving spouse, you are considered what is called a "Class A" beneficiary, meaning there is no inheritance tax on the property you inherit or take by right of survivorship. This means that the bank does not have to hold on to half the date of death balance until all inheritance taxes are paid. To get that account released you need to get a certified copy of the death certificate and go to the bank. The bank will have copies of NJ Inheritance Tax Form L-8 for you to sign. This is an affidavit that states, among other things, that you are the surviving spouse, a Class A beneficiary and the surviving party to the account. The bank will release the money to you or create a new account with just your name on it as you prefer.
