Changing a beneficiary for certain assets does not require the work of an attorney. You can do this yourself, and it should be done anytime you experience a major life event change such as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, change of address or retirement. If you don't experience these life changes, you should review your designations every five-to-ten years to ensure everything is current.
