The goal with your Workers CU accounts is to make sure every account has a transfer mechanism in place—either a POD beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Because Workers 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.
Each of Workers CU's 18 accounts has different rules for how it transfers at death. The sections below explain the options for each.
