How your Primerica investment accounts transfer at death depends on how each one is titled and whether a beneficiary is on file. Of those, 14 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. Getting these details right keeps assets out of probate and ensures they reach the intended recipients.
Primerica lets account holders update beneficiary designations online, by mail, and by phone, typically taking 10-15 minutes online for life insurance; 15-30 minutes by mail for mutual fund accounts; processing within 5-7 business days after receipt. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle brokerage accounts into a trust.
There are two sides to estate planning at Primerica: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
