IRA BDA Question

Hello, I have a client who inherited an IRA from his mother (85 years old)  in 2016 at age 64. He would have started to take RMD’s in 2017 at age 65 (22/9 LE factor). He passed away in 2025 and his wife is the beneficiary. Since this is a double inherited IRA BDA wouldn’t the wife have to continue taking RMD’s and based on the husband’s life expectancy in years 1 thru 9 and  make sure the account is closed within  10 years?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
