If you head down the aisle later in life, there’s another step you might want to take if you have adult children: Making sure you don’t accidentally disinherit them.
If you die without a will — called dying intestate — the courts in your state will decide who gets what. That process is public and often messy if would-be heirs have competing priorities and conflicting notions of what is rightfully theirs.
"No amount of estate planning can fix having the wrong beneficiary listed," said CFP DeDe Jones, managing director at Innovative Financial in Lakewood, Colorado. This means that if your husband is your listed beneficiary and you predecease him, those 401 assets become his to do with as he wants, which might not include passing on any money to your kids. Same goes for other accounts for which the spouse is the beneficiary and, typically, those on which they are a joint owner.
