What happens to a Roth IRA when the owner dies?
When a Roth IRA owner dies, the account passes to named beneficiaries who can inherit the assets tax-free. Beneficiaries must take required minimum distributions over 10 years, but these withdrawals remain tax-free. This makes Roth IRAs valuable tools for transferring wealth to the next generation without creating a tax burden for heirs.
