A beneficiary inherits an account’s assets in the event of the account holder’s death. For IRAs, you can designate one or more beneficiaries. For non-retirement accounts, you can use the “Transfer on Death” process to add one or more beneficiaries.
You can choose multiple beneficiaries for each investment account. There are 3 types of beneficiaries:
- An individual is a specific person who would receive the assets in your account.
- An entity is an organization that would receive the assets in your account.
- A trust that you’ve named in your will or in a trust agreement may receive the assets in your accounts.
