What is the name of your state? California
Hi, I browsed around a bit to see if this had already been covered, but it's so individual I figured a fresh post might be more helpful.
I'm single, no children. 29 years old. My only living family is my mother.
My parents took out a life insurance policy for me when I was a child. There is currently no named beneficiary. I would like to name my mother as the primary beneficiary. Seeing as it's quite likely I will outlive her, I would like to make my own funeral costs my contingent beneficiary. How would I go about doing this? Would I draw up a will and include it like that? Would I make an agreement with my church and name them as my beneficiary? Or similar with my chosen funeral home?
Any advice anyone could give would be very much appreciated. I have absolutely no idea where else to turn for help in figuring this out.
