To Liz, please:One of the disadvantages of payable on death accounts, which you recently discussed, is that the money goes straight to the beneficiaries before the estate’s costs are covered.
Do not all 401(k)s have death benefits? Every time I enter onto my account, I’m frequently urged to update my beneficiary information.
