Estate planning options at OneDigital Retirement
Estate planning for OneDigital Retirement retirement retirement accounts revolves around beneficiary designations. These designations—not a will—control who receives the account balance at death. For IRAs and employer-sponsored plans, the beneficiary designation also determines the tax treatment of inherited distributions, making it a decision with both legal and financial implications.
OneDigital Retirement offers 8 retirement 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.

What OneDigital Retirement says about beneficiaries and trusts
Each section is OneDigital Retirement's own statement, with the document it comes from numbered under Sources.
Which accounts take a beneficiary1
- Employer retirement plan
OneDigital does not hold custody of retirement plan clients' assets. The beneficiary designation is made under the plan's own terms with the plan, not with OneDigital.1
Which accounts a trust can hold2
- Employer retirement plan
OneDigital does not hold custody of plan assets, so nothing is re-registered through OneDigital. A trust's connection to a plan account is as a designated beneficiary under the plan's terms.1
