How your Simmons Bank accounts transfer at death depends on how each one is titled and whether a beneficiary is on file. Of those, 13 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.
Beneficiary designations at Simmons Bank can be managed online, in branch, and by phone, typically taking 10-20 minutes. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle accounts into the name of a revocable living trust.
There are two sides to estate planning at Simmons Bank: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
