    Question: If I had money saved in a 401k or Roth IRA, what if I died before I retired? What would happen to the money? Would it go back to the government or to a close relative?

      You can (and should) assign a beneficiary for the account. They receive the money if you die.

      You declare your beneficiaries when signing up - it goes to them, I believe.
