Estate planning options at Osaic

The key to protecting your Osaic investment accounts is making sure each one has a transfer mechanism in place—either a beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Without one, the account goes through probate, adding time, cost, and court involvement for your family.

Each of Osaic's 13 investment accounts has different rules for how it transfers at death. The sections below explain the options for each.
