401k inheritance

my father passed away unexpectedly and his ex-wife (my mom) was the listed beneficiary on his traditional 401k account. she will be receiving the funds to be placed into an inheritance account under her name. she then will be disbursing all of these funds equally to his 5 children. Do taxes need to be paid on these funds and who is required to claim these on their taxes?
