When a Greylock FCU member passes away, the Member Services (Death Claims) handles the transition of accounts to beneficiaries or the estate. Accounts with Payable on Death designations or trust ownership transfer outside of probate, while solely-owned accounts may require Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration from the probate court.

The claim process begins with a phone call to 1-413-236-4000. Have the account holder's full name, account numbers, and a certified death certificate available when making initial contact.

Death claim process

Here is the step-by-step death claim process at Greylock FCU:

Filing a claim

1
Contact Greylock FCU at 413-236-4000 or 1-800-207-5555, or visit any branch to report the death of a member.
2
Gather required documents based on account type:
  • POD accounts: named beneficiary provides certified death certificate and government-issued photo ID to claim funds
  • Joint accounts with right of survivorship: surviving owner provides certified death certificate; account passes solely into surviving owner's name
  • Non-POD/non-joint accounts: executor or administrator provides Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration from probate court
  • IRA accounts: designated beneficiary provides certified death certificate and completes distribution election paperwork
  • Trust-titled accounts: successor trustee provides trust document, death certificate, and trustee identification

Required Documents

  • Certified death certificate (5-10 certified copies recommended)
  • Government-issued photo ID for claimant
  • Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration (if no POD/joint account)
  • Small Estate Affidavit (if estate qualifies under Massachusetts law)
  • Trust documents (if trust is named as beneficiary or for trust-titled accounts)

Greylock FCU does not publish a dedicated deceased account webpage. Contact the main phone line at 413-236-4000 or 1-800-207-5555 to initiate the death claim process. Credit life insurance is available on auto loans to pay off the loan balance upon death of the borrower.

Processing timelines at Greylock FCU: POD and joint accounts processed upon verification of documents; estate accounts vary based on Massachusetts probate requirements. Incomplete documentation is the most common cause of delays—submitting all required documents with the initial claim helps avoid additional processing time.

Greylock FCU requires several documents to process a claim, including Certified death certificate (5-10 certified copies recommended), Government-issued photo ID for claimant, and Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration (if no POD/joint account), and additional documentation depending on the account type. Certified copies are typically needed—photocopies are generally not accepted for death certificates or court documents.


Frequently asked questions

Contact Greylock FCU at 413-236-4000 or 1-800-207-5555, or visit any branch. Bring a certified death certificate (5-10 copies recommended) and your government-issued photo ID. For joint accounts, the balance passes to the surviving owner. For POD accounts, beneficiaries can claim funds with a death certificate and valid ID. For accounts without POD or joint ownership, Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are required.

Greylock FCU's Member Services (Death Claims) can be reached by phone at 1-800-207-5555 for questions throughout the claims process.

If the deceased held multiple Greylock FCU accounts, each may require a separate claim or have different documentation requirements. The Member Services (Death Claims) can confirm which accounts require individual attention and which can be processed together.
