Estate planning at Veridian means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because Veridian is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Without one of these in place, accounts may require probate before your family can access the funds.
With 18 product types, Veridian offers a range of transfer options. Some accounts support Payable on Death (POD) designations, others can be retitled into a trust, and some require probate if no beneficiary is designated. The sections below break down each step.
