Live Oak Bank has 10 accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. Of those, 10 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.

Live Oak Bank handles beneficiary designations online and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.

Live Oak Bank provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.


Frequently asked questions

When you name a revocable living trust as POD beneficiary at Live Oak Bank, FDIC coverage is determined by the number of unique beneficiaries of the trust, up to $250,000 per unique trust beneficiary per depositor (up to five beneficiaries). If your trust names two beneficiaries, the account may be insured up to $500,000. Because Live Oak Bank personal accounts have a $250,000 deposit maximum, this distinction is primarily relevant to customers with funds at or near that limit. Confirm current FDIC rules for revocable trust accounts at fdic.gov.
