A beneficiary is an individual or organization designated to receive your assets upon your death.

A primary beneficiary is the first to receive the designated assets.
A contingent beneficiary serves as an alternate if the primary beneficiary is unable to accept them.

In the absence of named or available beneficiaries, assets may be subject to probate proceedings, which can result in delays and additional administrative expenses.
To ensure your assets are distributed in accordance with your intentions, it is important to periodically review and update your beneficiary designations.

There are three main types of beneficiaries: primary, contingent and residuary. Keep reading to learn what each type means and how to choose one.

Net worth is what you own minus what you owe, while income is the money you earn regularly. Income shows how money comes in, but net worth gives a clearer picture of how you’re really doing financially and understanding it can help you see where you are and plan where you want to go.

Net worth, not income, is a better indicator of how you're doing financially. Calculate your net worth and see how you stack up to the national average!
