It depends. If you are not the surviving spouse of the IRA owner, you are not eligible to convert the amount to a Roth IRA.
If you are the surviving spouse of the IRA owner, you can convert the amount to your own Roth IRA providing you elect to treat the Traditional IRA as you own before the conversion. One of the methods of treating the IRA as your own is by transferring the amount to your own (non-inherited) Traditional IRA. This option to treat the IRA as your own is available only to a surviving spouse beneficiary. Caution: If the decedent was required to take an RMD for the year of death, that amount cannot be included in the conversion, and must be withdrawn before the conversion.
