BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
You can direct that holdings in retirement savings and bank accounts such as 401(k)s, IRAs and CDs be transferred or paid to us upon your death without going through probate. You do not need to change your will. Simply file an updated beneficiary designation form with your financial institution. Many financial institutions make beneficiary designation forms available on their website. Click here for more information and a link to a FreeWill tool for tracking your beneficiary designations.
