Beneciarydesignation
We encourage you to consult a professional regarding the tax-law and estate planning implications of your beneciary designation. All stated
percentages must be whole percentages
(
e.g., 33%, not 33.3%
)
. If the percentages do not add up to 100%, each beneciary’s share will be based
proportionately on the stated percentages. When a percentage is not indicated, the beneciaries’ shares will be divided equally.
Notes: Your spouse may need to sign in Section 3. If you wish to name more than one trust or entity, customize your designation or need
more space, attach a separate page. Include the name, address, relationship, date of birth or trust, SSN/TIN and percentage for
each beneciary.
If you name a trust as beneciary, provide the full legal name of the trust. Example: “The Davis Family Trust.”
