“Beneficiaries can inherit in one of two ways. The first way, and most common, is to inherit assets outright, where the assets are distributed free and clear from all oversight and directly to the beneficiary. A check is made payable to the beneficiary or assets are titled in the beneficiary’s name, and the beneficiary does as he or she wants with the inheritance.
Alternatively, a beneficiary can inherit in trust. This can mean a lot of different things, but most often, it means that when the deceased created an estate plan, it was established so that the beneficiaries did not inherit outright, but rather in trust. This means the assets that are inherited are titled in the name of a trust, rather than the beneficiary’s name. The structures of these inherited trusts vary widely.”
