An IRA holder dies without naming a beneficiary. The documents say that his estate is the beneficiary by default.

If the estate is divided among three children (no survivng spouse), can each of the children--beneficiaries of the estate--set up "inherited IRAs", that is, an IRA in the name of the deceased for the benefit of child x?
