Beneficiary if IRA was named as the Estate of the decedent, DOD was in Fall, 2019.
Custodian was directed by executor to issue a small RMD before year end 2019 for a decedent who was over 70 1/2 and had begun receiving RMD a few yrs ago. Instead it issued a [u]complete distribution of the IRA's balance payable to Estate of Deceased and closed the account in last week of December. Looks like the estate is stuck reporting the complete distribution because it is not a "qualified beneficiary" and therefore is not eligible to "roll-over" the mess up to an IRA at another custodian's institution.
Thoughts ? otherwise?
