Which is better: Primary/Secondary beneficiaries, or 50% 50% split between 2 people?
The question is more about your goals that you are trying to accomplish. If you prefer one beneficiary over another, the primary and secondary may be the way to go. If your intent is to have both beneficiaries acquire an interest in the bequest, then a 50-50 split may be in order. The advice of a probate attorney may be necessary in making an important decision such as this.
