Good morning, Moreno Valley! I’m Brenda Sanchez, reporting live from our studio today. We have a very special guest joining us: Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney right here in Moreno Valley.
Crafting Your Legacy: The Importance of Naming Beneficiaries
Steve, thank you so much for being with us. Today we want to focus on one crucial step in the estate planning process – naming beneficiaries. Why is this step so essential?
“Naming your beneficiaries is the heart of ensuring your wishes are honored after you’re gone,” Steve explains. “It’s about clearly outlining who receives what and how. This prevents confusion, potential disputes among family members, and ensures your assets are distributed according to your desires.”
He emphasizes the need for specificity: “Don’t just say ‘my children.’ Instead, list each child by name and specify their individual inheritance. You can also designate percentages or specific items if you wish.”
Steve cautions that failing to name beneficiaries can lead to unintended consequences. ” Ordinarily, when someone passes away without naming beneficiaries, the courts will step in to decide how assets are distributed. This process can be lengthy, expensive, and may not align with your intentions.”
- Think about it: Would you rather have control over who receives what or leave that decision to a judge?
“One case I recall involved a man who hadn’t named beneficiaries for his retirement account. He assumed his spouse would automatically inherit it, but because he didn’t explicitly state this in his will or with the financial institution, the funds ended up going to distant relatives he hadn’t seen in years.”
This situation, though unfortunate, highlights the importance of taking the time to carefully consider and clearly identify your beneficiaries. “It’s a simple step that can save a lot of heartache and potential conflict down the road,” Steve concludes.
