Investopedia explains 'Qualified Trust'
To be qualified, a trust must be valid under state law, must be irrevocable (or become irrevocable when the retirement account holder dies) and must have identifiable beneficiaries. Furthermore, the IRA trustee, custodian or plan administrator must be provided with a copy of the trust instrument. If a qualified trust is not structured correctly, disbursements will be taxable.
