The goal with your Keesler Federal accounts is to make sure every account has a transfer mechanism in place—either a POD beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Because Keesler Federal is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Accounts without either one will require probate, which means court involvement and delays for your family.
Keesler Federal has 18 accounts with different estate transfer rules. Here is how beneficiary designations, trust ownership, and probate apply to each one.
