Beneficiary

Gold IRA Glossary

The person or entity you name to receive your IRA when you die. The beneficiary designation on file with the custodian controls who inherits the account, regardless of what a will says, so it is worth reviewing after major life events. A Gold IRA passes to beneficiaries like any other IRA, with the metals sold or transferred under inherited IRA rules.
