A beneficiary is the person or person(s) you designate to inherit your account. The account beneficiary can claim ownership immediately upon your death.
You may add more than one beneficiary on each account.
Not only does adding a beneficiary or beneficiaries to your account(s) make it easy for the funds in your account(s) to be transferred upon your death, but it also has the added benefit of increasing your deposit insurance coverage by the NCUA since each beneficiary is covered up to $250,000. The additional ESI insurance that Avadian provides doubles the amount for each named beneficiary.
