Estate planning at Advantis means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because Advantis is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Without one of these in place, accounts may require probate before your family can access the funds.

Across 17 product types, Advantis accounts vary in how they transfer at death. The sections below walk through Payable on Death (POD) designations, trust funding options, and which products support each method.
