The goal with your BluPeak CU accounts is to make sure every account has a transfer mechanism in place—either a POD beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Because BluPeak CU is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Accounts without either one will require probate, which means court involvement and delays for your family.
BluPeak CU has 10 accounts with different estate transfer rules. Here is how beneficiary designations, trust ownership, and probate apply to each one.
