Putting your IRA into a trust creates a taxable transaction. IRAs should never go into a trust!

Hank, Sherri's answer is incorrect. Placing an IRA into a trust does not create a taxable transaction, although we normally do not see clients placing IRA's into their trusts for various other reasons. However it is beneficial under certain circumstances. This is a much more complex question than it seems at first glance and you really should speak with a reputable estate attorney in your area to help you.
