WTF Vanguard?!?!

Does anybody else have their IRA set up through Vanguard? Apparently every year on your birthday they send you a message that reads "Happy birthday! Remember to update your beneficiary list in case you die during the next year!"

That is a pretty twisted birthday message.

If you die without a beneficiary, the account gets taxed as an early disbursement to your legal next of kin, i.e Spouse, Children, Parents, etc. Kind of odd phrasing though

I seriously doubt they use those exact words.
