If you've been a long time fan or client of wt360 you know we called for the coldest Summer in 5 years and wet-no drought in our forecast for the Eastern half of the U.S. this Summer. Hopefully that gives you a little hope that they can be totally wrong and not to panic on the Winter just yet.
A beneficiary is the person or entity you name in a life insurance policy to receive the death benefit. If you donât name a beneficiary, the death benefit will be paid to your estate. Two âlevelsâ of beneficiaries. Your life insurance policy should have both âprimaryâ and âcontingentâ beneficiaries. The primary beneficiary gets the death benefits if he or she can be found after your death. Contingent beneficiaries get the death benefits if the primary beneficiary canât be found.
You cannot name an IRA beneficiary after your death. While you can leave the IRA assets to someone in your will, trust or other estate planning vehicle, this route doesn't carry the same estate planning advantages as simply naming an IRA beneficiary during life.o plan for this possibility, the IRA owner can fill out a Beneficiary Designation Form, naming a beneficiary to receive the remainder of his IRA in the event of his death.
