moomoo does not currently support beneficiary designations, transfer-on-death registrations, or trust account titling on any account type. All moomoo investment accounts pass through the estate at death and may require probate.
When an account holder dies, the executor or administrator will need to contact moomoo with a death certificate and legal authority documents to claim account balances. The process and required documents are covered on the death claim page.
moomoo does not currently support beneficiary designations (POD or TOD) on any account type. All accounts transfer through the estate at death and may require probate.
Why trust accounts are not available
moomoo does not support retitling accounts into a trust, naming a trust as beneficiary, or any other probate-avoidance mechanism. Account balances transfer through the estate at death.
Cash Sweep Program
Cash Sweep Program
Uninvested cash in the brokerage account is swept to third-party Program Banks that pay interest, net of fees paid to MFI. Per moomoo's US disclosure, once swept, the cash "becomes eligible for FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per Program Bank, inclusive of any other deposits the customer already hold at the bank," and moomoo states plainly that once funds are swept "they are no longer in the brokerage account and not protected by SIPC." The sweep is a feature of the brokerage account, not a separate bank account the decedent owned, so it carries no POD designation and no separate beneficiary — it is claimed as part of the moomoo account. An executor reconciling statements should expect part of the balance to sit at Program Banks rather than in the brokerage account.
