At age 65, Carlota’s financial position was better than her health. She had a large balance in an IRA that she wanted to move to a different IRA. Carlota withdrew $100,000 from the IRA and planned to roll the funds over into another IRA. Unfortunately, she died before completing the rollover. Carlota’s son, Andres, discovered what his mother had done a week after her death. Andres was both executor of Carlota’s estate and beneficiary of her IRA.

$100,000 in another IRA within the 60-day rollover period?
