If that page is years old, the vault can flag it. It cannot tell you who it should be.</p><p>Upload the beneficiary page, not a summary someone typed.</p><p>People change. Accounts stay. The mismatch is ordinary, and it is why the file belongs in the household vault with a date attached.</p><ol><li>Find the account statement or plan site printout</li><li>Upload the page that names the person</li><li>Attach the institution phone number printed on that page</li></ol><p>Rixons stores the page and flags when it has not been reviewed.
