For life insurance policies, retirement accounts (i.e., 401ks/403bs, IRAs, etc.), Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and trusts, the beneficiary you name inherits the account assets, generally regardless of what your will states. For checking or savings accounts, or CDs, you may name a payable on death (POD) beneficiary.
ERISA and the Code require each retirement plan to file Form 5500 by the end of the seventh month after the end of each plan year (extensions of time are available) unless the DOL and the IRS have granted an exemption to this requirement.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) covers two types of retirement plans: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan promises a specified monthly benefit at retirement.
ERISA plan is not subject to annual 5500 reporting. ERISA plan with over 100 participants does not require an annual audit. ERISA plan is not subject to the strict ERISA fiduciary standards, but it is subject to state law and other standards.
ERISA prohibits certain transactions between an employee benefit plan and "parties in interest," which include the employer and others who may be in a position to exercise improper influence over the plan, and such transactions may trigger civil monetary penalties under Title I of ERISA.
