Confused My husband's 401k

My husband told me that his 401k was set up to go to the next of kin if he dies. Does next of kin mean the wife or wife and children?

Default Re: My husband's 401k

I'm not a lawyer .. But I ran into a 401k problem with a trust.
If the 401k is inherited by a beneficiary, it becomes an immediate payout with all taxes due, probably in a higher tax bracket.

My 401K is setup with my wife being the spousal owner... not beneficiary.
If I precede her in death .. she carry's on with the 401k setup as it is now as the owner .. no payout.
