Changes to IRA inheritance laws

The United States Supreme Court, in a decision that surprised many, held that, after the death of an IRA owner, assets in an inherited IRA for a non-spouse beneficiary no longer constitute retirement funds for bankruptcy purposes; therefore, they are not protected from creditors’ claims when a non-spouse beneficiary files for bankruptcy. So if you want to be sure that your children inherit your retirement money and get to keep it even in a bankruptcy you need to be sure your trust complies with Treasury Regulations relating to naming your trust as beneficiary.
