Estate planning at LGE Community CU means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because LGE Community CU is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Without one of these in place, accounts may require probate before your family can access the funds.
LGE Community CU offers 21 accounts, each with its own transfer rules. The sections below cover how to set up beneficiaries, fund a trust, and which products support each approach.

1
Visit any LGE Community Credit Union branch with government-issued photo ID
2
Ask member services to add or change a Payable on Death (POD) beneficiary designation on the account. LGE records POD beneficiaries on the account/membership paperwork it prepares in branch; the blank Membership Application PDF at https://www.lgeccu.org/content/docs/MembershipApplication.pdf has no beneficiary block, so there is nothing to fill out in advance
3
Provide the beneficiary details LGE records:
- Full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, and relationship for each beneficiary
- Primary and contingent beneficiaries with percentage allocations
- For a trust beneficiary: the full legal trust name, date established, and trust EIN or SSN
4
Sign the updated account paperwork. Under the Membership and Account Agreement (https://www.lgeccu.org/membership-and-account-agreement.html), a beneficiary account is payable to the owner(s) during their lifetimes and, on the death of the last owner, to the beneficiaries "designated by your Membership Application"; any owner may change a designated beneficiary during their lifetime by written direction to LGE
Required Documents
- Trust name, date established, and tax ID (EIN or SSN)
Special Requirements
- POD designations available for deposit accounts (checking, savings, certificates, money market)
- Online beneficiary designation is not currently available; must use branch, phone, or mail
- A beneficiary designation is changeable by any owner during their lifetime by written direction to LGE (Membership and Account Agreement, Beneficiary Account section, effective January 1, 2026)
- A beneficiary's interest is subject to LGE's right of set-off and to any pledge of the funds: an unpaid LGE loan or Visa balance is deducted from the account before the beneficiary is paid
- If all named beneficiaries predecease the owners, the funds are paid to the estate of the last surviving owner (beneficiary accounts have no rights of survivorship among beneficiaries)
- IRA beneficiary designations are separate from POD designations on deposit accounts
- Investment account beneficiary designations handled through LGE Investment Group / LPL Financial
