Your will may not control every dollar you leave behind. Retirement accounts, life insurance, POD/TOD accounts, and other assets can follow the beneficiary designation on file instead of the instructions written in your will.
In this video, we explain why old beneficiary forms can create unexpected inheritance outcomes, which accounts you should review, why primary and backup beneficiaries matter, and how to check whether your estate plan and account records still match.
