About:
Many accountholders use trusts to plan for their estate, family, taxes, etc.  When opening these special accounts, you need to know about proper documentation, CIP, and account card responsibilities.  You must also understand the trustee(s) authority and duties and your credit union’s responsibility and liability.  This webinar will cover standard trust-opening procedures and many questions that arise as trusts and accountholder situations change.
