If you'd like to add beneficiaries to more than one retirement account, please fill out the form for each account in question (even if the beneficiaries remain the same).

Please keep in mind that the total of the "% Share" portions for all beneficiaries must equal 100%, no decimals or fractions can be accepted.  

For example: if you would like to add three beneficiaries, they could be allocated a 33%, 33%, and 34% share, respectively. 33.33%, 33.33%, and 33.33% would not be acceptable. 

 

You can also send in a IRA Beneficiary form attached below to us.

This will have to be performed on your desktop, as this feature is not currently available on mobile.
