Preparing your Prosperity Bank accounts for estate transfer involves two primary strategies: designating beneficiaries on individual accounts and, where supported, retitling accounts into a revocable living trust. Both approaches bypass probate, but they work differently depending on the account type.
The transfer rules at Prosperity Bank vary across 18 accounts. Below is a breakdown of beneficiary options, trust funding, and which products support each method.
