FAQ

The Will will also name beneficiaries who are to receive assets. An executor can override the wishes of these beneficiaries due to their legal duty. However, the beneficiary of a Will is very different than an individual named in a beneficiary designation of an asset held by a financial company.

If you do renounce, renouncement takes effect immediately and doesn't grant the right to appoint another person in your place. Instead either remaining executors continue, or someone must apply to court to be appointed an administrator.

Executors are bound to the terms of the will, which means that they are not permitted to change beneficiaries. The beneficiaries who were named by the decedent will remain beneficiaries so long as the portions of the will in which they appear are not invalidated through a successful will contest.

Most assets can be distributed by preparing a new deed, changing the account title, or by giving the person a deed of distribution. For example: To transfer a bank account to a beneficiary, you will need to provide the bank with a death certificate and letters of administration.

?I give all of my personal property and all proceeds of insurance to my spouse, [spouse's full name]. If they do not survive me, I give all proceeds to my children in equal shares. To [full name], I bequeath my record collection and turntable. To [full name], I give my 1967 Mustang.?
