What is a Beneficiary?
A beneficiary is a person or legal entity that is entitled to receive the proceeds from an estate, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy,
or transfer on death accounts. A beneficiary can be one or more individuals or organizations, such as a trust or charity. You can designate
two types of beneficiaries:
Importance of Beneficiary Designations
Named beneficiaries on insurance policies and retirement accounts generally supersede instructions in wills which is why it is important to file
and keep your beneficiary designations up to date. By periodically reviewing your beneficiary designations for your benefit plans, personal
insurance plans, and other financial accounts, you can rest assured that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.
Review Your Beneficiary Designations
Review and update your beneficiaries when:
Keep copies of your beneficiary designation forms. If you do not have copies of your current beneficiary designations, request copies from
your account providers or complete a new beneficiary designation form.
Since the designations you make can override your will, we recommend you consult attorneys Case & Rajnoha, estate planning professionals
before you make changes.

A beneficiary is a person or legal entity that is entitled to receive the proceeds from an estate, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy,
or transfer on death accounts. A beneficiary can be one or more individuals or organizations, such as a trust or charity. You can designate
two types of beneficiaries:
- Primary beneficiaries are first in line to receive the designated asset upon your death.
- Secondary (or contingent) beneficiaries receive the asset if there are no surviving primary beneficiaries upon your death.
Importance of Beneficiary Designations
Named beneficiaries on insurance policies and retirement accounts generally supersede instructions in wills which is why it is important to file

insurance plans, and other financial accounts, you can rest assured that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.
Review Your Beneficiary Designations
Review and update your beneficiaries when:
- You experience a major life event such as a birth, marriage, dissolution of marriage or domestic partnership, or death in the family.
- You update your will or estate plan. Consult with your legal advisor when you create a will to make sure that you understand whether
the beneficiary designations you make on insurance plans or financial accounts are affected by your will. - You roll over a 401(k) or Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
- You receive a beneficiary verification notice.
Keep copies of your beneficiary designation forms. If you do not have copies of your current beneficiary designations, request copies from
your account providers or complete a new beneficiary designation form.
