Thanks for the response. I asked (and just confirmed that you were,
as usual, correct) because a major 401k in my area just told a client
they could not name charities as beneficiary. My guess is that this
is like some other things in that the IRC allows charitable
beneficiaries, but does not mandate that plans recognize them. The
solution will be to roll to an IRA who does allow charitable
beneficiaries, which will be done today <grin> .

As I understand it, if they are the 100% primary beneficiary, there is
no issue. It's when they are 50/50 with a regular person that the
person's stretch option may be affected. That aside, the answer is
'yes'. Also, leaving the IRA to a trust can turn into a mess, too many
opportunities for things to go wrong.

Default IRA Beneficiary

I'm going to check later today, but meanwhile does anyone know if the
IRC permits a qualified charity to be primary beneficiary of an IRA?
