📄 Your Will Isn’t Always the Final Word
Your will may say one thing while a beneficiary form says another.
👤 Retirement accounts and life insurance proceeds generally follow the beneficiary designation on file. Updating your will does not automatically update those accounts.
🔎 Workplace plans, IRAs, and life insurance policies all deserve their own beneficiary review to make sure your overall plan reflects your current wishes.
