I am single, no kids, no pets, 46M.
I plan to evenly distribute between Mother (82F), Brother A (58M, Married, has 1 adult female child), Brother B (61M, Married, no child).
I have a Fidelity account which has my employer 401k, Roth IRA and ESPP accounts. It has an option for Contingent too which I am confused about.
Do I also let them know that they are beneficiaries on my accounts? What information do I need to give them?
Who would you give the beneficiaries as primary if you were me?
How does this 'Payable to Death' work? Do I also need a Will?
