Yes. Assets such as retirement accounts, life insurance policies, and payable-on-death (POD) accounts pass outside your Will or trust. It is essential that these designations are up to date and consistent with your overall estate plan. Failure to coordinate these designations can result in unintended outcomes or leave a surviving spouse without necessary financial resources.
