No matter how old you are, it’s never too early or too late to begin thinking about your life insurance options.
Children are treated fairly when it comes to inheritance. But “fair” doesn’t always mean “equal,” especially if your family situation or assets are complicated. In some circumstances, giving kids equal inheritances may not be the best option.
You cannot name a legal minor as a beneficiary. This applies to almost all legal documents, most notably wills and life insurance policies.
Dying intestate can have unintended consequences for pretty much every family type. However, it is especially painful if there are unmarried partners or stepchildren, who are left out under the law in almost every scenario.
Like most assets, you can inherit an individual retirement account (IRA) after the owner’s death. For spouses, inheriting an IRA is a relatively straightforward process.
When you’re in the midst of a divorce, you’re probably not thinking about estate planning or your will. However, if you’re divorcing, you should think about the impact a divorce can have on an estate plan.
While many people think that estate planning is only for the wealthy, experts say that’s not the case.
During your life you will likely accumulate money, property and other items of value. These are your assets. Taken together, these assets — also known as your estate — paint a picture of the wealth you’ve built over time. Rather than lose all you’ve built when you die, planning your estate ahead of time can help you preserve your wealth by transferring your assets to your children or other beneficiaries.
No one wants to face a large bill for a funeral when they are grieving the loss of a loved one. It’s far preferable, when possible, to make arrangements in advance, utilizing one or more of the following sources of funds.
When an individual purchases an annuity, they name one or more beneficiaries who will receive the benefits if something happens to them before the contract ends. This could be due to death, disability, or another event that would cause the individual to no longer need their income from the annuity. The ultimate beneficiary of an annuity is the individual receiving the payments. However, there can also be additional beneficiaries.
