Meet the Reporter
Hello, everyone! My name is Sarah Johnson, and I’m a reporter for the Moreno Valley Gazette. Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Bliss, a renowned estate planning attorney here in Moreno Valley.
The Importance of Naming Beneficiaries
Steve, thank you so much for joining me today. We all know that estate planning can seem overwhelming, but it’s incredibly important. Could you tell us about one specific step in the process that people often overlook?
“Absolutely, Sarah. One step that is critically important but sometimes gets overlooked is clearly naming your beneficiaries.” Steve explains. “This means identifying who will inherit your assets and specifying how those assets should be distributed.
Conversely, failing to name beneficiaries can lead to unintended consequences. If you don’t designate specific individuals, your assets might end up being divided according to state intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.” Steve continues. “Imagine a scenario where a parent passes away without naming a beneficiary for their life insurance policy. The proceeds could potentially go to distant relatives instead of their spouse or children, creating unnecessary stress and conflict during an already difficult time.
Consequently, clearly outlining who inherits what ensures your wishes are honored and prevents potential disputes among family members.” Steve adds. “It’s about providing peace of mind and protecting those you care about most. Moreover, it’s crucial to regularly review and update beneficiary designations, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child.
A 2021 survey by Caring.com revealed that over 50% of Americans don’t have a will in place, indicating a lack of awareness about the importance of estate planning, including naming beneficiaries.
