After collecting money as an IRA beneficiary does the money legally have to be transferred to the trust to divide among other beneficiaries?

    The money from the IRA goes to the owner/beneficiary of the IRA. That owner could be an individual, or it could be the trustee of a trust. So what trust are you asking about, and is that trust (trustee) the owner of the IRA?

    No. If only one person is listed as beneficiary, all of the IRA belongs to the named beneficiary.

    It depends what is stipulated. The executor should have that info.
