Protect Your Estate with a Trust Account

Establishing a Trust Account ensures that your personal wishes will be carried out correctly. Set up a Trust to:

  • Divide income among your loved ones
  • Reduce probate and estate costs
  • Protect assets from creditors

Consult your attorney to prepare the necessary paperwork to establish one of these options:

  • Revocable Living Trust
  • Irrevocable Trust
  • Testamentary Trust

Trust Account & Estate Planning

Open a Trust Account

Once you have all documentation from your attorney, visit a branch to complete your Trust application. You’ll need copies of identification for all trustees (driver’s license, passport, or other form of government I.D.). We can accept either a Certificate of Trust document or the following paperwork: copy of the Trust pages, title page with name of the Trust, names of trustees/beneficiaries, notarized signature page.

Not close to a branch? You also have the option of mailing in your Trust Application with the required paperwork to establish your Trust.
