Beneficiary Information

Please remember, if you are married, this estate planning tool will leave your estate to your spouse. The distribution of property you determine on this page will only happen if your spouse dies before you do. This section allows you to name a beneficiary to receive your assets upon your death through your last will and testament. A beneficiary may be an individual or a charity. If you choose to leave any of your assets to a charity, please enter the charity’s address after the charity’s full name. In the event your beneficiary predeceases you, please select either the per stirpes or per capita designation. The per stirpes designation will pay your deceased beneficiaries’ share to that beneficiaries’ descendants. The per capita designation will distribute your estate to your remaining living beneficiaries. Your Last Will and Testament will distribute assets in your estate at the time of your death. Any assets that have named beneficiaries, like life insurance or retirement accounts, will follow those instructions rather than your Last Will and Testament. It is important to consider both types of assets when deciding how your estate will be divided.

If your spouse predeceases you, please designate contingent beneficiaries.

Children
When answering these questions, please answer the questions based on all your children including any stepchildren. If any of your children are under the age of 18, we recommend setting up a trust for your child or children, you will be able to appoint a trustee to manage your child’s inheritance. Your trustee will be responsible for investing, handling, and providing distributions to your child as they see fit. Once your child reaches an age that you predetermine, your child will then have full access to their inheritance.

Guardians for Your Minor Children
In your Last Will and Testament, it is important to designate a Guardian for your minor child or children. A Guardian is a person who is responsible for the day to day needs of a minor child and who steps into the role of being the parent if you are no longer living or unable to care for your child. As a word of caution, the surviving biological parent is typically favored by the courts to be named as guardian. If you choose to name someone other than the surviving biological parent as the first guardian, the legal system may still grant custody to the surviving biological parent unless the surviving biological parent has been legally deemed unfit to serve as parent/guardian.
