It's the responsibility of the beneficiary. Beneficiaries of the retirement plan and IRA accounts after the death of the account owner are subject to required minimum distribution (RMD) rules (includes the penalty for failure to take RMD). A beneficiary is generally any person or entity the account owner chooses to receive the benefits of a retirement account or an IRA after they die.
