How Should a IRA & Roth IRA Be Handled
IRAs can remain in a personal name. Even if the IRA is within the trust's name it will incur early withdrawal fees. If one still desires to place the IRA in the trust's name, just ask the IRA management to change the name on the account to that of the trust’s - realize this will
trigger a taxable event in most cases.
