Citi Wealth offers 4 consumer investment accounts that interact with estate planning in distinct ways. Of those, 4 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. Understanding the transfer methods available for each account type helps families keep assets out of probate and ensure they pass to the right people.

Citi Wealth handles beneficiary designations by mail and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.

Citi Wealth has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.
