[RASEY-DNA] Beneficiary Information

The sudden and unexpected death of a member of one of my projects prompts me to
remind you to fill in the "Beneficiary Information" on your FTDNA member
account.

To do so, please login to your FTDNA account and click "Manage Personal
Information" (orange text) on the left of your home page, under the "Your
Account" heading.  Then click the "Beneficiary Information" tab.  You will need
to fill in the Name, Phone, and E-mail address of the beneficiary.

Legally, your heirs will be able to gain control of the account, anyway, but
filling in the Beneficiary Information will mean they won't have the burden of
proving to FTDNA that they're the member's legal heir.  It also means you can
specify which of your heirs gains control of the account.

And, of course, your FTDNA account should be mentioned in your will as part of
your estate, to be certain your heirs are aware of it.
