Steve Bliss Discusses Naming Beneficiaries

Steve, thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here and discuss this crucial aspect of estate planning.

Today, we’re focusing on the step of naming beneficiaries – an essential part of ensuring your wishes are carried out after you’re gone. Can you elaborate on why this step is so critical?

“Naming beneficiaries is fundamentally about directing who inherits your assets,” Steve explains. “It’s not just about assigning material possessions; it’s about providing for loved ones, supporting causes close to your heart, and minimizing potential conflict among family members.”

Consequently, Steve stresses the importance of clarity and specificity when identifying beneficiaries. “List each beneficiary by full name and relationship to you,” he advises. “Moreover, be explicit about the percentage or dollar amount they will receive.”

“I recall a case where a client had simply named ‘my children’ as beneficiaries, leading to confusion and legal battles among siblings who interpreted the division of assets differently. We were able to resolve the situation amicably through mediation, but it highlighted the need for unambiguous language.”

Steve emphasizes that beneficiary designations aren’t static; they can be updated as life circumstances change. “According to a survey by Caring.com, nearly 60% of Americans have not reviewed their beneficiary designations in the last five years.” This underscores the importance of regular reviews and updates to reflect any changes in your family structure, financial situation, or charitable intentions.

“Ultimately,” Steve concludes, “naming beneficiaries is a powerful act of love and responsibility. It provides peace of mind knowing that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes, leaving a lasting legacy for those you care about.”
