United Community has 15 accounts, each with different rules for what happens when the account holder dies. Of those, 13 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. The right combination of beneficiary designations and trust ownership can keep the entire portfolio out of probate.

Managing beneficiaries at United Community is straightforward—changes can be made in branch, by mail, and by phone, typically taking 15-30 minutes (in-branch or by phone). Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle accounts into the name of a revocable living trust.

United Community provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
