Frequently Asked Questions
Does my will update my 401k?
Often no. Retirement plans and life insurance usually pay the beneficiary on their own form. This beneficiary update checklist is about those forms, not drafting a will.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a list for reviewing and saving beneficiary confirmations. Estate documents belong with a qualified attorney.
Who should I name?
That is your decision. Use full legal names and add a contingent so a blank line is not the backup plan.
When should I review?
After marriage, divorce, a birth, a death, and when you leave a job that had a retirement plan.
