If your will and your registered accounts had different beneficiaries… who actually gets your money?

An Ontario family recently learned this the hard way.
A man updated the beneficiaries on his RRIF and TFSA late in life, naming someone he had recently grown close with.

After he passed, his family challenged it, assuming everything would follow the will.

It didn't.

The courts ruled those assets belonged to the named beneficiary, not the estate.

This happens more often than people realize — and it's completely avoidable.

In this video, we walk through a few key tips to help you get it right:

0:42 – Review your beneficiaries regularly
1:04 – Make sure everything is aligned
1:18 – Be clear about your intentions
1:31 – Think about tax
1:43 – Set up a trusted contact person

If you're not sure when you last reviewed your designations, it's probably time!
