Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Revocable Trust Accounts. A revocable trust account is a deposit account owned by one or more people that identifies one or more beneficiaries who will receive the deposits upon the death of the owners. A revocable trust can be revoked, terminated, or changed at any time by the owners. A revocable trust may be formal, under a written trust agreement created for estate planning purposes, or it may be informal such as an account with a “payable on death,” or “in trust for,” or a trustee account designation in the bank’s records.
• Trusts
  Irrevocable trust accounts. A revocable trust that becomes an irrevocable trust account due to the death of the trust owner will continue to be insured under the rules for revocable trusts; however, different rules apply to an irrevocable trust account. An irrevocable trust account is one where deposits are held in an account established by statute or written trust agreement in which the owner contributes property, but gives up all ownership rights and power to cancel or change the trust.
• Power of Attorney
  Single Accounts. A single account is one that is owned by one person, in their own name, without any kind of designated beneficiaries. An account with a designated beneficiary, such as a “payable on death” designation, is instead treated differently under the revocable trust rules. A single account also includes one that is in the name of a sole proprietorship, for instance an account designated as “DBA” or “doing business as.” If an account identifies only one owner, but another person has signing authority with the right to withdraw funds from the account (for instance, pursuant to a power of attorney or custodian), it is still deemed to be a single ownership account.
