There are two ways to keep your Grow Financial accounts out of probate: adding Payable on Death designations and retitling accounts into a trust. Because Grow Financial 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.
Grow Financial has 15 accounts with different estate transfer rules. Here is how beneficiary designations, trust ownership, and probate apply to each one.
