I'm to be a beneficiary on a will for my father and I was asked for my address. The address I provided is in an apartment complex. Maybe I'll be in that same apartment complex when my father passes or maybe I won't be but given the uncertainty as to where I'll be I'm wondering if it might not bad idea to have a PO Box that I can keep between moves.
Can I even do that? Or can I pencil in my email address instead of my home address?
The address given is assumed to be the one you had at the time.
Even if that is not your current address upon your father's death, it still serves an important purpose: It allows you to be distinguished from other people with the same name or a similar name who did not live at that address at that point in time.
At death, someone will probably rely upon your father's address book or phone contacts to reach you (or maybe your most recent Christmas card), not the one listed in a will or a deed that is many years old.
There is no need for a P.O. Box.
Or can I pencil in my email address instead of my home address?
Don't do it. This could come across as fraudulent conduct.
