Does the word “beneficiaries” have you saying, “bena-who?” Good news–this post is for you 👀 (We promise we didn’t intend for that to rhyme) Here are four fast facts about this important part of estate planning: 1️⃣ A beneficiary is the person, people, or entity/entities you name to inherit what you leave behind. 2️⃣ Beneficiaries don’t have to be people. Many wills and trusts name charities or organizations as beneficiaries. 3️⃣ Good questions to ask include: Does anyone depend on you financially? Are you married? Do you have children? All of these may influence your beneficiary choices. 4️⃣ Keep in mind that for some assets, there are two types. A primary beneficiary is the person first in line to receive the benefit. A contingent beneficiary is a backup if your primary beneficiary is no longer alive. Got questions? Drop them in the comments or give us a call. We’re here to help.

She will cover the key differences between these legal tools and when each is appropriate. You'll learn when guardianship is necessary for added protection, particularly in cases of incapacity or vulnerability, and when a power of attorney might be sufficient.
