My father makes after-tax contributions to his 401(k). Should he take these as his RMD or leave them for his beneficiaries?

Dear Quentin,

I have recently become the power of attorney for my father. In reviewing his documents, I found that he had been making after-tax contributions to his 401(k) plan all these years.

I know that nowadays you would put those after tax amounts into a Roth 401(k), but he never did.
