A person can name anyone they choose to be a beneficiary. This can include a friend, child, spouse, parent or other relative. Some people even name organizations or charities as a beneficiary.

Does the name of the contingent beneficiary appear on proceeds check?

Typically, the name of the contingent beneficiary does not appear on the proceeds check. The check is usually issued solely in the name of the primary beneficiary, as they are the ones entitled to receive the benefits upon the policyholder's passing. If the primary beneficiary is unavailable or unable to claim the proceeds, then the contingent beneficiary may eventually receive the funds, but their name will not be on the initial check.

What happens to money in bank when you die?

If it is your sole account you should always name a beneficiary. The bank will assist you if you visit any branch. If no beneficiary was named the funds in the account become part of the owner's estate upon death. If the account is a joint account with the right of survivorship the full ownership will pass automatically to the surviving joint owner (who should then name a beneficiary through the bank).

A friend left something in a will to your mother but your mother has died who does it go to?

There are several possibilities. The gift may have been intended for your mother only and not to be passed on to her heirs. Alternatively, the friend's will may name you as your mother's successor beneficiary . However, many wills fail to address the possibility that the named beneficiary may die before the testator. If no successor beneficiary was named then the legacy would lapse and fall into the residuary of the estate. If there is no residuary clause in the will then the legacy will pass as intestate property.
