The attorney is correct. The reason for an RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) is that the IRS wants to get the taxes that have accumulated in the money saved in 401-K's, IRA's and other retirement vehicles.
Pensions do not have a pool of money that is designated specifically for you. Pensions end when you pass, (some plans allow for a spouses continued benefit at a reduced rate). There is no accumulation of wealth for the IRS to tax. So, if you have a pension, you do not have to be concerned about RMDs.
