I am not concerned about estate taxes.

If I pass on a Roth IRA to my youngest heirs, it can continue to grow tax free long after my death, and my heirs will benefit from my generosity.

If I just left them a wad of cash, they would be taxed on the interest if they invest it. Leaving them a Roth gives them a long time to have a tax free income stream.
