Beneficiary Designations 2022
The assets held in accounts with beneficiary designations (bank accounts, investment accounts, IRAs, etc.) should pass easily to the designated beneficiary upon the owner’s death. However, issues can arise when a beneficiary is not properly designated.
The policies and procedures for designating beneficiaries may differ from company to company, especially when designating a trust as a beneficiary. For example, listing the name or title of a trust may be sufficient for some companies, but other companies may require more information such as:
– The title of the trust;
– Title of the instrument creating the trust; and
– Date of the instrument creating the trust.
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the policies and procedures of your financial institutions and investment companies then review your current beneficiary designations and revise them as needed.
If you need help with beneficiary designations or estate planning in general, please call to schedule an appointment with one of the attorneys at Waldron & Schneider.

After 40 years as a crab fisherman, I added a new chapter by working at a fish plant. Despite my love for playing the lottery, winning was a problem until I found Lord Bubuza's lottery spells online. I was Skeptical at first, but my wife Nancy encouraged me to try him. I Followed his instructions and provided his requirement to cast the spell, I played Lotto 649 with the numbers he gave me. To my surprise, I won $64 million, Nancy and I traveled to Moncton to claim the prize, and I'm now retiring from fishing, I'm grateful for Lord Bubuza's lottery spell. For those seeking lottery success, I recommend him. Contact him at lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +1 505 569 0396
