[WSBARP] Estate question

[Dalynne Singleton]

Simple answer is yes if the estate is solvent, there should not be any issues.  Claims can be made for convenience on accounts but this is an argument with slight caselaw to assist.

Subject: [WSBARP] Estate question

I am assuming that the beneficiary provisions in a brokerage or bank account take precedence over a will that provides for beneficiaries equally. This isn't my area of law, and I'm trying to answer a question for a family friend.
