THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

Think about all the places holding your money. They may include:

  • Bank Accounts
  • Insurance Policies
  • Retirement Accounts
  • Certificates of Deposit
  • Brokerage Accounts
  • Land Deeds

Did you designate a beneficiary when those accounts were created? Is that beneficiary still the party to which you wish to gift the funds? And finally, did you notify the person that they are the beneficiary?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, congratulations! But, if you answered “no,” you might have some work to do.

When you name Hoyt Sherman Place as a beneficiary in your estate planning, funds may be donor designated, or their use will be determined by the Board of Directors.
