Firstmark Services loans and your estate
A debt, not an asset: nothing to designate or retitle
Firstmark Services balances are a debt, not an asset. There is nothing to designate a beneficiary on and nothing to retitle into a trust. Whether a balance is discharged at the borrower's death or owed by the estate depends on the loan's terms.
When the borrower dies, Firstmark Services is notified with proof of death. The steps and required documents are on the death claim page.
Firstmark Services accounts carry no beneficiary designation, because there is nothing to leave: the balance is owed, not held.
Trusts and Firstmark Services loans
Firstmark Services balances cannot be moved into a trust. Trust funding retitles what someone owns, and a loan is owed.
