Can you leave your 401k to someone other than your spouse?

Can you leave your 401k to someone other than your spouse?

If you want to name a beneficiary who is someone other than your spouse, your spouse must sign a waiver. Even if your intended beneficiary is a domestic partner you’ve been with for 20 years, your spouse will have legal claim to your 401k if you die, unless he or she signs a waiver.

Do you need spousal consent to rollover a 401k?

One of those rights is that the spouse must consent to any distribution from that plan that is in the form of anything other than a Qualified Joint and Survivor Annuity (QJSA). A prenuptial agreement could be used to limit a spouse’s rights to an IRA, but it cannot usurp the ERISA rules.

Will no contact make him forget me?

Your ex will not forget about you if you go no contact. So stay in it for as long as it takes. After a while (if you stayed in NC), he is probably going to start to miss you and the qualities you brought to the table. Nostalgic memories are important when it comes to getting back together with your ex.

What a man thinks during no contact?

Since guys are rational creatures, the guys’ mind during no contact tends to be decision-driven. When guys feel discontent around their romantic partner, they rationally decide that their partner is not making them happy and that they need to chase after their own goals and happiness. And they do just that.
