A beneficiary is typically named in legal documents such as wills, trusts, or insurance policies, and can include individuals like family members, friends, or organizations. In a will, for example, a testator may designate heirs to inherit their assets after death. In insurance policies, beneficiaries are often chosen to receive the policy benefits upon the policyholder's passing. The specific choice of beneficiaries depends on the individual's personal relationships and intentions regarding asset distribution.
