Husband and wife divorce in June.  Neither remarry. Both have IRA's naming each other as beneficiaries.  Husband dies in October.  Can wife roll over her ex-husband's IRA to her IRA with out tax consequences or is it considered an inherited IRA?

As a non spouse, she gets an inherited IRA like you or I would if we had gotten it.
