[WSBAPT] Roth IRA beneficiary designations

[Sharon Rutberg]

Hello, friends -

We know that naming a standard IRA to go to "my estate" is generally a bad idea because it will trigger a 5-year payout with taxes due. However, what about a Roth IRA? Since no taxes are due on distributions, is there any downside to naming it to my "estate"?

Thanks!
Sharon
