[WSBAPT] Can a trust pay into beneficiary's IRA?

[Christina Faucett]

I have a client who wants to use some of the assets of his estate to fund
trusts for minor nieces and nephews. He originally wanted to set up Roth
IRAs directly for each of them, but I understand those cannot be funded
with inheritance money. My question is, can the trust direct the trustee to
pay into a Roth for the beneficiary as long as the beneficiary is working,
up to the maximum amount allowed each year? Or is this also not allowed
because the beneficiary would not be funding the Roth directly?

Thanks,
