Beneficiary Designations
Did you know?
-
Having a valid will in place isn’t enough.
-
Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets. They include lRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, life insurance policies, and certain bank and brokerage accounts.
-
If beneficiaries are properly set for these non-probate assets(opens in new window), ownership can transfer faster than your assets that must go through probate
Thanks to FreeWill, you can easily plan beneficiaries for your non-probate assets in one place.
Report a gift in your will or trust
If you’ve left a gift to Humane Society of Polk County in your estate plan, you can use the tool below to let us know!
It can often be difficult to plan and make sure that your gifts are used in line with your wishes if they are left unknown. But more importantly, we want to say thank you for considering our work as a part of your legacy.
We know that life circumstances can change and you may need to alter or reconsider your gift in the future. That’s all right — reporting your gift today does not obligate you now nor in the future.
