Assets such as life insurance, annuities, pension plans, 401ks and IRAs have beneficiary designation forms as part of the set-up process. Remember to check that your beneficiary designations were made, and if you have a revocable trust, that you have changed title to assets to comport with your wishes. Make particular note of any newly-acquired asset, life insurance policy, or real estate purchase (particularly if out of state).
ACTEC Fellows dig into the complexities around beneficiary designations so that viewers understand the essential facts.
