Why a Trust Account Matters for Your Future

Planning ahead ensures your loved ones receive what you’ve worked hard for, without unnecessary legal hurdles. Without a trust, assets could be tied up in probate, causing stress and delays for your family. A trust allows you to dictate how and when your assets are distributed, ensuring peace of mind and financial security.

With Service Credit Union, you have two simple options:

  • Living Trust – Maintain control of your assets while ensuring a seamless transition for your beneficiaries.
  • Payable on Death (POD) Account – A straightforward way to transfer funds without a formal trust agreement.
