There are two ways to keep your Idaho Central CU accounts out of probate: adding Payable on Death designations and retitling accounts into a trust. Because Idaho Central CU 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.
Idaho Central CU has 20 product types, and the estate transfer rules differ across them. Some support Payable on Death (POD) designations, some can be retitled into a trust, and others will require probate if nothing is set up. Each is covered below.
