Why enable a two-way electronic exchange of documents with account holders?
Revocable and irrevocable trusts and EINs
01/26/2025
I have two questions about accounts for trusts. Does the account title of a revocable trust need to change when the trust becomes irrevocable? If a customer had an EIN for a revocable trust prior to her death, can that EIN continue to be used now, since the trust became irrevocable after her death, or must the new trustee(s) apply for a new EIN?
Adding authorized signers to estate accounts
01/26/2025
Can an attorney-in-fact or agent for the executor of an estate be listed on the estate account as a signer if they weren't appointed by the court to specifically be on the estate account? The executor wanted to put their agent on the estate account, but I feel this could get messy because I feel the agent isn't legally bound by the will to carry out the duties of the executor.
Calculating a customer's IRA RMD
01/19/2025
We have a customer who made an IRA deposit for the previous year. When calculating her RMD, our system is including this deposit in her RMD amount even though it was not her ending balance as of December 31st. We don't believe this to be correct as everything we find says the RMD is based on the end-of-year balance. Are we correct or should we include the deposit she made after 12-31 in calculating her RMD amount?
