Legal Aid for Elders Failing to Update Beneficiaries May Benefit Your Ex By R Christine Brown, southbayelderlaw.com Fran had just learned that her deceased husband Ed’s life insurance proceeds were going to be paid to his ex-wife Sally. As Fran found out from her lawyer, beneficiary designations can be the trump card of estate planning. You heard that right. The ex-wife Sally will get the life insurance proceeds. It doesn’t matter what the will says in these circumstances. With certain financial instruments the beneficiary designations have authority to control the asset disposition regardless of other provisions. A recent WMUR article, titled “Money Matters: The trump card of estate planning” sets out a handful of good pointers to remember. As we’ve just read, assigning and frequently reviewing your beneficiary designations is a critical part of estate planning. Those assets whose beneficiary designations “trump” any wills or estate directives include the following: Individual and group life insurance; traditional and Roth IRAs; qualified retirement plans, such as 401k’s; ESOPs (Employee Stock Option Plans); Contractual rights under deferred compensation plans; and employment contracts Remember that making a change in your will or your trust doesn’t automatically make changes to all of your assets listed in those documents. Talk with an estate planning lawyer to cover all of the bases. You want to make sure that your beneficiary designations are updated and in sync with your overall estate planning strategy and its documents. Here are a couple of other thoughts: always name primary and contingent beneficiaries, and when you make any changes to these documents, get a confirmation from the receiving institution that the changes were actually made and reflect your wishes. Finally, retain copies of your beneficiary documentation, as it might be some time before these materials are needed. You want to make sure that the paperwork can be found easily. Again, it’s wise to speak to an experienced estate planning attorney with your questions regarding beneficiary designations and to get sound advice on your estate planning.

We get two different answers from both sides of the US-Mexico border. The first is an American vigilante border patrol organization called Arizona Border Recon, who is full of bigotry and misguided law. Their leader Tim Foley, known as “Nailer,” is hardly a representation of good morals, yet is the tamest in this terrifyingly bloodthirsty group of American self-proclaimed soldiers. On the Mexican side (though over 1,000 miles from the border, deep into its own country of Michoacán) is an anti-cartel volunteer group known as the Autodefensas, led by a charismatic, spirited leader named Jose Manuel Mireles, or “El Doctor.” The Autodefensas start out as a small uprising of citizens who know that they can’t rely on the police to stop the cartels, so they take matters into their own hands. As we watch the organization expand and gain power, inevitably it becomes more difficult to maintain and corruption naturally cracks into all levels. The reason these stories are so compelling is because of the level of access that director Matthew Heineman has gained. Many documentaries lose attention when the most dramatic moments are happening off-screen. Heineman has miraculously managed to be right alongside numerous firefights, protests, and intimate conversations that immerse the viewer into the tense situation at hand. The primary characters are shown onscreen without us being told who is trustworthy and who isn’t, and as we see more information, it becomes even clearer how impossible it is to trust anyone involved in this situation. By the time the film is over, you will have a new understanding of just how deep-seated the corruption in these wars has become. What is more baffling, and another reason why this is essential viewing, is that these stories (like many of global importance) are being ignored by mainstream media in all likelihood because of how unbelievable they are. Cartel Land is a movie that inspires the viewer to think a little more carefully about what types of leaders are trustworthy, and exposes a horrific truth with humane precision that would otherwise by brushed over by mainstream media. Cartel Land opens this Friday, July 10th at The ArcLight Hollywood. For our interview with director Matthew Heineman, visit www. CINEMACY.com. •
