Aidvantage is a student loan servicer, so the estate planning question is about a debt, not an asset. When the borrower dies, the estate must notify Aidvantage and resolve the outstanding balance—through payoff, assumption, discharge, or surrender depending on the loan—rather than name a beneficiary.

Aidvantage provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
