The majority of our IRA customers have their spouse listed as beneficiary. When an IRA holder passed away, we would change the title to the "Spouse as Beneficiary of the deceased IRA" and their SS# if they chose to not treat as their own. We had two IRA holders (in RMD) pass away this year and had multiple children listed as beneficiary. We set up separate accounts for each child as "Beneficiary of the fathers IRA" and transferred the funds to them. This was done "in-house" with transcodes to just transfer
the funds to the separate accounts (no paper work other than the entries). What is the proper way to handle the transferring of accounts like this? Should we have completed new account paperwork for a new IRA account? For CIP purpose?
