Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Should my child be primary or contingent beneficiary?

If you want the kids to be first in line, use primary. The joint account owner will retain ownership before beneficiaries.

How do you find out if you are named as a beneficiary?

The easiest way to learn if you are a life insurance beneficiary is to talk to the policyholder if they are still alive. They can tell you whether youre a beneficiary and provide information necessary to claim the death benefit when they pass away.

Do beneficiaries need to be informed?

While you do have an obligation to keep each beneficiary informed of the trust administration process, you may opt to communicate with them in writing only. Hopefully, you are administering the trust under the guidance of an experienced trust attorney.

Does naming a beneficiary override a will?

Beneficiary designations override wills, so if you forget to change them, the person named will still receive the money, even if that was not your intent.

How are beneficiaries listed in a will?

Most beneficiary designations will require you to provide a persons full legal name and their relationship to you (spouse, child, mother, etc.). Some beneficiary designations also include information like mailing address, email, phone number, date of birth and Social Security number.
