YOUR KIDS WON'T GET YOUR 401K

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Your children are expecting to receive your retirement account and your insurance policies when you pass away, but you went through a divorce and you forgot to update your designated beneficiary on those accounts and those policies. So, when you pass away, your ex-spouse is actually going to be getting the payouts from those. Whoever you have named as a designated beneficiary on all of your accounts and all of your policies will be the person that's going to receive the payouts from those when you pass away. It does not matter what you told your children. It does not matter what you have in your will. Whoever is listed on that designated beneficiary will be the one receiving that payout. So, what you want to do instead is to make sure that if you go through a divorce settlement, you're going back through all of your accounts and making sure that you have updated the designated beneficiaries on those so it actually goes to the people that you want to have that money instead of your ex-spouse if you don't want them to have it.
