It's often important not only to establish a trust, but to tranfer (or re-title) assets into the name of the trust.

Thank you so much for providing this very helpful clarification! It seems like a pretty straightforward question, but after reviewing several videos and books I've not been able to a straightforward answer. My inability to have a clear understanding of such a basic and fundamental concept left me frozen for the past several years. I now feel like I have a much better understanding of what steps I need to take so thank you very much for educating and liberating me!

I was an authorized signer? on Dad's account. Dad bounced checks and they pulled that money from my and my hubby's accounts(from the same institution) to cover the overdraft. Hubby was NOT happy. I went into bank to have my name taken off my father's account. I was told that I would need both my father's signature and my mother's signature (deceased unbeknownst to the bank). I then also had to get my mother's death certificate just to get off his accounts. Things are not always what we think they are.

Thanks for the info. I've called several banks shopping for a MM account. Good luck trying to find a bank that will allow you to title the account in the name of the trust.

[@mildwest1]

Hey C A, I've worked at my current bank going on 15 years. Unfortunately I don't know how every bank works, but I would gather that the larger nationwide banks offer "Trust" accounts or have a "Wealth Management" group within the bank that offers Trust accounts. At my bank, a Trust account is a "non-personal" account type. I've had customers in the past want to add their Trust name to their existing personal account. I had to tell them that we can't add a "non-personal" name to a "personal" product type. Some banks may choose not to offer these product types (Trust accounts and Estate accounts) because of the difference laws regarding Trust and Estates for each state. Hopefully you will find a bank that can help you. Take care!

In funding a Trust, can't you just state in the POD and/or TOD to transfer the all assets in that account to the Trust ?

[@RaphaelQuixote]

Thanks so much for the presentation! One small question: Can there be a situation where a bank account has beneficiaries listed on it, then gets renamed in the name of the trust, and the beneficiaries are still listed? And if so, will the next-in-line trustee be able to disburse the money without a problem, regardless of the bank having a list of beneficiaries?

[@maryricketts7337]

Pretty sure the bank account beneficiaries take precedence. They should be able to work directly with the bank, but ask the bank.

[@bjjgarage1378]

Can a beneficiary or trustee add funds to a Trust after the grantor passes away?

[@chrystlaw1]

For a bank account, if you have beneficiaries listed on the account, wouldn’t the beneficiaries only have to present ID and a death certificate to get the funds transferred to them?

[@mildwest1]

Hi chrystlaw1, I currently work at a bank in VA going on 14 years. The short answer is, Yes. All you need is a valid unexpired ID and the Death Certificate. Now, what can make this situation tough is what information was provided to the bank from the owner on the account. If the owner provided your full legal name, date of birth, address, etc., to the bank, it makes the process easier to identify you when you come to collect the funds. If the owner only provided your name, this can make it difficult for the bank to truly confirm you’re the rightful owner without asking for additional supporting documentation. Hope this helps.

Is it ok to put the trust name on the financial account beneficiary listing so the account doesn't need to be added to the trust? At death of the account holder, I assume the net worth would be paid to the trust.

[@mildwest1]

Hi Dale, I currently work at a bank in VA going on 14 years. It’s best to check with your local bank, but you should be able to name your Trust as POD (Payable on Death) on your sole/joint personal Checking and/or Savings accounts. Upon your death, your successor Trustee will need to visit your bank to claim the funds. Before the successor trustee named in the Trust Agreement visits the bank, they may want to visit an estate planning attorney to review the Trust Agreement. The attorney should be able to create an updated “Certificate of Trust” document. The bank may ask the Trustee to bring this document, as well as your Death Certificate, to the bank so they can close the account and make a check payable in the name of the Trust. Hope this helps.

[@TheHouseofSniffers]

@@mildwest1 Do you need a bank account in the trust name to deposit the proceeds since the check will be written to the trust and can the same bank accomodate a successor trustee on this account creation using same trust and death certificate?

[@mildwest1]

@@TheHouseofSniffers Hey! Yes, the bank account (generally a non-personal account) will have to be in the name of the Trust. If you're funding the Trust account via check, the check must be written in the name of the Trust. I think I understanding your second question. The "Successor" Trustee is the person waiting to step up to be the "Active" Trustee when the current Trustee passes away or is no longer able or willing to carry out their fiduciary duty. The attorney will create an updated Certificate of Trust document detailing that the "Successor" Trustee is now the "Active" Trustee, among other details from the Trust Agreement. The bank should be able to accept the updated Certificate of Trust document and the Death Certificate if you're making changes to an existing Trust account or setting up a new Trust account. Let me know if that helps or if you have a specific scenario you want to walk through. Take care!
