Town & Country FCU offers 20 accounts, each with its own rules for what happens when a member dies. As a membership-based credit union, Town & Country FCU headquartered at P.O. Box 9420, South Portland, ME 04116-9420. Six branch locations in Portland, South Portland, Scarborough, and Saco. Membership open to anyone who resides, works, attends school, or worships in Cumberland or York County, Maine, as well as family members of eligible individuals. Once a member, always a member regardless of relocation. Some transfer automatically to a named beneficiary, others can be held in a trust, and a few may require probate if no plan is in place.

At Town & Country FCU, beneficiary designations are managed in branch, by mail, and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.

Town & Country FCU has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.
