SLS does not currently support beneficiary designations, transfer-on-death registrations, or trust account titling on any account type. All SLS mortgage loans pass through the estate at death and may require probate.

When an account holder dies, the executor or administrator will need to contact SLS with a death certificate and legal authority documents to claim account balances. The process and required documents are covered on the death claim page.

SLS does not currently support beneficiary designations (POD or TOD) on any account type. All accounts transfer through the estate at death and may require probate.

Why trust accounts are not available

SLS does not support retitling accounts into a trust, naming a trust as beneficiary, or any other probate-avoidance mechanism. Account balances transfer through the estate at death.
