Before You Depart:
Preparing For The Unexpected

We here at YouDeparted have talked before about how important it is for a family, no matter what kind of family it may be, to be knowledgeable about the life insurance each partner has, and who the beneficiaries are.  We have stressed the importance of having a reputable lawyer to guide you through the processes of naming beneficiaries and making sure your requests are upheld.  We have reminded you that it is very necessary that such paperwork is stored in a safe place.

Unfortunately, there are always those who want what you have given to someone else, and if you are not careful, your last requests might change in the hands of someone you least expect to betray your trust.

Please read what Panthergirl has to say about her late husband’s insurance, and how he thought he was leaving it all to his son, but ended up leaving it all to. . . .

Well, I think perhaps you’d best read it for yourself.  Then, check your own paperwork VERY carefully indeed. Then check it again.  And make sure it’s all stored in a safe, safe place.
