FAQs
How do I name a beneficiary?
If you are married, your spouse is automatically your beneficiary. With your spouse’s consent, you may change your beneficiary. You can and should name a secondary and tertiary (third) beneficiary in the event your primary beneficiary predeceases you. Complete a form if naming anyone other than your legal spouse. Your spouse must also sign the form and it must be notarized.
If you are single, you should name a beneficiary by completing a form and submitting it to John Hancock Retirement Plan Services. If you are single and do not name a beneficiary(ies), your estate will receive your account in the event of your death.
