Estate planning and settlement at SPS
Report a death
SPS services loans, which means at death the focus is settling what is owed. The estate notifies SPS, provides documentation of authority, and works through payoff or the loan-specific options available to survivors.
There are two sides to estate planning at SPS: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
