• Bequests – Name YAPS as a beneficiary in your will or living trust.

• Retirement Plans – Designate YAPS as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or pension.

• Life Insurance – Name YAPS as a full or partial beneficiary on your policy.

• Bank & Investment Accounts – Use a payable-on-death (POD) designation.
