If the distribution to the beneficiary was mandatory, and the trust agreement does not provide for alternative disposition on the beneficiary's death, and/or the trust agreement provides that the distribution is mandatory and not discretionary, then the distribution should be payable to the deceased beneficiary's estate, which could get the K-1 as to any portion of the distribution that constitutes income rather than principal. The distribution to the deceased beneficiary's estate could flow through to the heirs of the deceased beneficiary's estate.

It depends on the terms outlined in the deceased person's will and retirement account.

However, if there are specific instructions in the will regarding the distribution of the retirement account, those would generally take precedence.
Does a secondary beneficiary only receive funds from a life insurance policy if the primary beneficiary has already passed?
Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.
