Military Servicemembers and Veterans – Plan Ahead

Navy Mutual

Planning ahead can make important financial, legal and family decisions clearer today, and reduce uncertainty for loved ones in the future. 

Navy Mutual provides educational resources and practical tools to help servicemembers, veterans and military families organize important documents, review beneficiary designations, understand military and survivor benefits, prepare for final expenses and record their wishes. 

Users can begin with Navy Mutual’s Estate Planning Checklist, Estate Planning Personal Log and beneficiary-planning resources. Navy Mutual’s accredited Veterans Service Organization representatives can also help veterans and their families understand VA benefits, including pre-need burial eligibility, at no charge.
