Retirement retirement accounts at OneDigital Retirement transfer by beneficiary designation, not through probate. With 7 account types, each carrying different tax implications for heirs, getting these designations right is one of the most consequential estate planning decisions.
OneDigital Retirement handles beneficiary designations online, by mail, and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.
There are two sides to estate planning at OneDigital Retirement: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.

View details →No. A 401(k) or 403(b) can never be retitled into a revocable living trust — the account is held under the plan's own trust for you as participant, and taking it out would be a taxable distribution. The only trust connection available is naming the trust as BENEFICIARY on the recordkeeper's form. If you do that, have your attorney confirm the trust satisfies the see-through trust rules of Treas. Reg. 1.401(a)(9)-4 first; a trust that fails them forces a faster, more heavily taxed payout. By contrast, a taxable investment account you hold through OneDigital CAN be retitled to your trust — but that paperwork is your custodian's (Schwab, Fidelity, or Raymond James), submitted through your adviser.
