There are two ways to keep your America's CU accounts out of probate: adding Payable on Death designations and retitling accounts into a trust. Because America's CU is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Both methods ensure your accounts transfer directly to the people you choose, without court involvement.
Across 27 product types, America's CU 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.
