What you may not know is that an IRA keeps its tax-deferred status regardless of whether a spouse, children or grandchildren are named as beneficiaries. Additionally, the SECURE Act in the USA mandates that a non-spouse inheriting an IRA must take distributions that empty the account within 10 years.
