HealthEquity holds health savings accounts that transfer directly to the named beneficiary at death. The tax outcome hinges on that designation: a spouse beneficiary keeps the HSA intact, while a non-spouse beneficiary generally takes the fair market value as taxable income.
Managing beneficiaries at HealthEquity is straightforward—changes can be made online and by mail, typically taking 5-10 minutes online; 1-2 weeks by mail or fax. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to name a trust as the HSA beneficiary.
HealthEquity has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.

No. An HSA is a custodial account held under IRC Section 223 in your own name, and HealthEquity does not offer a trust-titled HSA. There is no way to move it into your revocable living trust during your lifetime — unlike a bank or brokerage account, which can simply be retitled. The beneficiary designation is the entire estate-planning mechanism for an HSA, which is why keeping it current (and correct on the spouse-versus-non-spouse fork) matters more here than on almost any other account.
