Wills
Trusts
On January 21, 2022, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a new rule concerning how deposit insurance would be provided to accounts maintained by trusts. The new rule becomes effective on April 1, 2024. Under existing law, trust accounts are insured differently based on the type of trust and the number of distinct beneficiaries. Trust accounts are currently insured based on one of three trust types: informal revocable trusts (POD accounts), formal revocable trusts, or irrevocable trusts. Separate FDIC insurance coverage is provided to revocable trust accounts with distinct beneficiaries and irrevocable trust accounts with non-contingent beneficiaries. The current FDIC insurance rules for trusts are complicated and the FDIC enacted the new rule in an effort to simplify deposit insurance coverage determinations for trust accounts.
