Beneficiary Designations

Did you know you may have additional assets not covered in your will or trust? If you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts, these are called "non-probate assets" and they need to be planned for separately.

Using the free online tool below, you can log all of your assets, receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker, and even include Winthrop University as a beneficiary to further student success for years to come. Plan your beneficiaries today.

 

If you have questions about planned giving or would like more information on any of the gifting options above, please download our brochure, or e-mail us at giving@winthrop.edu.
