I learned that retirement account and life insurance beneficiary designations usually supersede any designations you have in your will. If you've earned a PBGC pension benefit, don't forget to designate your beneficiary. Many retirement plans are required to distribute benefits to participants in the form of a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (QJSA). Note: The questions and answers below generally relate to both retirement plans and individual retirement accounts (IRAs).
