To each his own
Might want to do a little research on the taxes your children will face if they inherit your IRA's. It might be better if you take more than the MRD out each year and pay the income tax on the distribution. Your children will have to start taking money from the IRA's and it will be taxable at their rate. Maybe subject to state taxes also.
