When the owner of a retirement account dies, the account can be bequeathed
to a beneficiary. A beneficiary can be any person or entity that the owner
has chosen to receive the funds. If no beneficiary is designated beforehand,
the estate will generally become the recipient of the account.
Question: What is "the estate"?
