When Should I …check my beneficiaries?

Whenever you anticipate a life-changing event in your family – marriage, having a child, retirement, major illness.

Ask about your beneficiaries during your annual or semi-annual investment reviews.

Be aware of who’s designated as beneficiaries in each of your investment accounts – IRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, insurance and annuity contracts, bank and brokerage accounts. Be sure that you have named primary beneficiaries as well as contingent beneficiaries.
