@thelegacyinvestingshow's TikTok video "Your 401(k) doesn't care what your will says. It generally goes to whoever is named on the beneficiary form. If that's an ex from 10 years ago, they could still get it. And a will alone still goes through probate... a court process that can take months or even years, and it's public. Here are the 5 documents every adult should have in place: A will, so you decide who inherits and who you'd want raising your kids. If both parents are gone, the court makes the final call, but your choice carries real weight. Updated beneficiary forms on your 401(k), IRA, life insurance and bank accounts. If you're married, your spouse may have rights to your 401(k) no matter what the form says. A durable financial power of attorney, so someone you trust can pay your bills if you can't. A healthcare directive and HIPAA release, so the right person can make medical calls and talk to your doctors. A simple packet that lists your accounts, policies and contacts, so your family isn't guessing. Keep passwords somewhere secure, not on a sticky note. Thinking about a living trust? It can keep your home and other assets out of probate. Retirement accounts stay out of the trust and pass through their beneficiary forms instead. Leaving money to your kids? A Roth or a regular brokerage account usually costs them less in taxes than a traditional IRA. Most adult kids have to empty an inherited IRA within 10 years, with some exceptions. Own a business with partners? Add a buy-sell agreement so everyone knows what happens to your share. Rules are different in every state, so have an estate attorney draft the legal documents.
