Coordinate the records
Avoid assuming that naming a nominee always determines the final beneficial ownership. Review nomination forms, Will provisions and applicable law together.
03
Keep information current
Update nominations and estate-planning documents after major life events so outdated records do not create avoidable confusion.
Start with the details you already have
You do not need everything figured out before you begin. Start with your family and asset details, and ask for help whenever a question is unclear.
