Beneficiary Question


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

Question:

Right now my 401K, Pensions, IRA's, Life Insurance, etc. are all set up to go 100% to my ex and split 50/50 to my kids as secondary beneficiaries. I have a trip to Vegas planned in about a week and there is a good chance that all of this may come into play should something go horribly wrong or horribly right depending on how you look at it.

Here is where I need some advice and God only knows why I am asking here. If I take her off and leave it all to my kids how will that work with one being 18 and the other being 7. Will my son just get his half of the money and be able to spend it on weed up at NC State or will it go to some trust fund since it is my retirement money? What about my daughter's portion?

The second part of this is that my ex is not able to pay the mortgage on our old home and to try and sell it would be a decent loss due to the housing market being down and I don't want to do that. So, I pay the mortage and insurance on my old home so they do not have to move so my daughter's life is not disrupted anymore than it needs to be. If I change the beneficiaries to my kids I guess she would lose the home if something happens to me.

What I am thinking about doing is leaving all of my retirement accounts to my kids and leaving my life insurance to my ex which would easily pay off the house and much more. Does that make sense?

Anyone else deal with this situation before and can give some advice? What is the right way to handle this? And no I am not leaving anything to any of you.

Stuff I found out when I got divorced - Insurance/401k stuff: For your daughter (a minor), you have to set up a trust for her to be a beneficiary. I guess since your son is 18 he is old enough to be named a direct beneficiary.

Part II, I have no idea.

Lawyer for that? I need to see one anyway and set up a will. Pretty ignorant that I haven't done that already especially since I have a legal plan through work.

You need to set up a trust for your daughter, son, and the wife.

You should be able to set it up so that the wife gets a certain monthly payment from your insurance, 401, etc..

The same can apply for the kids.

Figure out what it would cost the wife to carry the house, and have that be the amount that is sent to her monthly.

The oldest would get a check every month, or you could set it up that he has to graduate college, and turn 25 before he starts getting a check.

The youngest could just go into savings, or other investment vehicles.

I like this.

except for the son has to graduate part. Future is hard to predict and wise choices can be made that don't involve a 4 yr college degree.

to a degree, a lot of majors are worthless these days and simply give you a piece of paper. Mine practically is. Has nothing to do with my job nor was it even needed to get started.

My fiances roommate has a trust set up. You can design a trust however you like it. His pays for living expenses and school and didn't kick in until he was 25 rather than cutting your son (and my new best friend) a $500k check. He get a xmas bonus every year off of it as well.

I was just giving an example.

Maybe it's military service, maybe a college degree, maybe getting married...I don't know.

What I would not want to happen is for an 18 year old kid to start getting 4K per month, and him become exactly what you would assume he would become.

Make both kids jump through some hoops to get dead dads money.

This is the smartest way to do it, IMO.

Living in Willmington, I meet a ton of trust funders....the ones that are set up this way are the one's that I can stand to be around.

Cash it out, spend it on hookers and blow, problem solved and you will have no worries after you die.....

Funny you say that...I am using some of my 401K to fund my fun in Vegas. Not the smartest thing but my decisions are rarely known as stellar ones. Not cashing it out, just taking out a loan to clear out all my debt and a bit more for Johnny Rockets time in Vegas then Florida a couple weeks after.

Sounds like I need to go visit a lawyer and discuss the options you guys have given. Thanks for the help...I am impressed. Huddle, you are the best and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
