Estate planning options at One Nevada CU
Estate planning at One Nevada CU means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because One Nevada 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.
One Nevada CU offers 11 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.
- A POD beneficiary is an account designation; the Membership Agreement says the Membership Application indicates the form of account ownership
- Account changes a member requests are evidenced with a signed Membership Application
- The Member Service Center number is 800-388-3000

What One Nevada CU says about beneficiaries and trusts
Each section is One Nevada CU's own statement, with the document it comes from numbered under Sources.
Which accounts take a beneficiary2
- IRA
A separate beneficiary designation governs an IRA, so a POD designation on another account does not apply to it.1
- Certificate of deposit
A separate beneficiary designation governs a certificate account. A certificate with no POD beneficiary of its own is governed by the POD designation on the share savings account.1
What One Nevada CU's agreement says about beneficiaries5
- A designation and a will
The Membership Agreement states the member "irrevocably waives the right to make a testamentary disposition of any account with the Credit Union, now and in the future."1
- What the owner keeps while living
A POD account is payable to the owners during their lifetimes.1
- Joint accounts
A POD account pays the named and surviving POD beneficiaries only on the death of the last joint account owner. A surviving joint owner takes ahead of the POD beneficiary.1
When more than one POD beneficiary is named, they own the account jointly with rights of survivorship.1
- Changing the owner of a policy or account
All accounts are non-assignable and nontransferable to third parties without One Nevada's prior written consent.1
- Who can see the designation
One Nevada has no obligation to notify any beneficiary of the existence of an account or the vesting of the beneficiary's interest, except as otherwise provided by law.1
Which accounts a trust can hold2
What One Nevada CU says about trust accounts4
- Who signs for the trust
The trust is the sole owner of a fiduciary account. The trustee has no ownership interest and is the only authorized party to transact on it.1
- Whether a new account is opened
The Membership Agreement lets One Nevada require a member to close an account and apply for a new one when there is a change in owners.1
- Review of the trust document
The Membership Agreement says the credit union may rely on a fiduciary's representations and has no duty to examine the authorizing documents.1
- The institution's right to refuse a designation or an account title
One Nevada may refuse trust account instructions it believes could expose it to claims, or require a bond or indemnity.1
