INHERITED IRA OR 401K for disabled child

By Terry Savage on January 15, 2023 | Financial Planning / Retirement

If I leave a 401k or iRA to a trust i have set up for my disabled ( blind ) son versus leaving it to him directly can the trustee convert it to an inherited ira for his benefit so he can take distributions based on his uniform lifetime code?
Thank you
