Estate planning at Santa Fe FCU means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because Santa Fe FCU is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Without one of these in place, accounts may require probate before your family can access the funds.
Santa Fe FCU offers 6 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.
