Retirement tax questions

Dmertz,  Thanks for the reply.  One more question, does the RMD need to be taken before the T. IRA is split into the 3 inherited IRAs or can it be split, then one sibling take the RMD for all 3?  I had read that the RMD would go to the children's reportable income and not the original owners estate so how would that work?  Sorry for the extra questions.  Thanks.
