Wealth Transfer Planning
|
Wealth transfer planning isn't just about money — it's about creating a plan to help your loved ones navigate
the process of what to do when you're gone. It's likely something you'd rather not think about now, but with proper
planning you can make sure your wishes are known and carried out later.
Steps you can take now — organize your files, add or update beneficiaries to your accounts, create a will — can help make things a bit easier for your survivors.
Use the resources below to learn more. If you have any questions on adding a beneficiary to your Dreyfus account, please call us at 1-800-896-2645.
