This ownership category includes both informal and formal revocable trusts: Informal revocable trusts — also known as payable on death POD , in trust for ITF , testamentary, or Totten Trust accounts — are the most common form of revocable trusts. These informal revocable trusts are created when the account owner signs an agreement — usually part of the bank's signature card — stating that the deposits will be payable to one or more beneficiaries upon the owner's death.
Formal revocable trust — also known as Living trusts or family trusts — are formal revocable trusts created for estate planning purposes. The owner of a living trust controls the deposits in the trust during his or her lifetime.
The trust document sets forth who shall receive trust assets after the death of the owner. Single Accounts What is a single account? A single account is a deposit account owned by one person, with no beneficiaries. Such accounts include deposits titled in the owner's name alone, deposits established for the benefit of the owner by an agent, nominee, guardian, custodian, or conservator, and deposits belonging to the owner of a sole proprietorship.
How are single accounts insured? All single accounts established by, or for the benefit of, the same person are added together. Certain Retirement Accounts What are certain retirement accounts? The FDIC defines the term "self-directed" to mean that plan participants have the right to direct how the money is invested, including the ability to direct that the deposits be placed at an FDIC-insured bank.
If a participant of a retirement plan has the right to choose a particular depository institution's deposit accounts as an investment, the FDIC would consider the account to be self-directed.
Also, if a plan has as its default investment option deposit accounts at a particular FDIC-insured institution, the FDIC would deem the plan to be self-directed for deposit insurance purposes because, by inaction, the participant has directed the placement of such deposits. However, if a plan's only investment vehicle is the deposit accounts of a particular bank, so that participants have no choice of investments, the plan would not be deemed self-directed for deposit insurance purposes.
How are certain retirement accounts insured? Naming beneficiaries to a self-directed retirement account does not increase insurance coverage. Joint Accounts What is a joint account? A joint account is a deposit account owned by two or more individuals, with no beneficiaries. Federal deposit insurance covers joint accounts owned in any manner conforming to applicable state law, such as joint tenants with a right of survivorship, tenants by the entirety, and tenants in common.
What are the requirements for joint accounts? Joint accounts are insured separately from other ownership categories if all of the following conditions are met: All co-owners must be natural persons. This means that legal entities such as corporations or partnerships are not eligible for joint account deposit insurance coverage. Each of the co-owners must have personally signed a deposit account signature card. The execution of an account signature card is not required for certificates of deposit, deposit obligations evidenced by a negotiable instrument, or accounts maintained by an agent, nominee, guardian, custodian, or conservator, but the deposit must in fact be jointly owned.
Each of the co-owners must have equal rights to withdraw deposits from the account. For example, if one co-owner can withdraw funds on his or her signature alone, but the other co-owner can withdraw funds only on the signature of both co-owners, then this requirement has not been satisfied; the co-owners do not have equal withdrawal rights. Likewise, if a co-owner's right to withdraw funds is limited to a specified dollar amount, the funds in the account will be allocated between the co-owners according to their withdrawal rights and insured as single account funds.
The funds, as allocated, are then added to any other single account funds of A or B, respectively. How are joint accounts insured? Each co-owner's interest or share in a joint account is deemed equal. The use of different Social Security numbers does not determine insurance coverage, nor does rearranging the owners' names, changing the style of the names, or using "or" rather than "and" to join the owners' names in a joint account title.
