Kraken has 8 investment accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. Of those, 1 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. The right combination of beneficiary designations and trust ownership can keep the entire portfolio out of probate.

Beneficiary management at Kraken is handled through direct contact.

Kraken provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A person who already holds a personal Kraken account can open a separate business account for their revocable living trust. The trust account must use a different email address — individual and business accounts cannot share login credentials. The trustee completes the standard business account KYC process for the trust entity, separate from any verification already completed for the personal account.
