Most financial will require you to contact your local branch or call customer service to add a beneficiary. However, some may also let you make changes to your account through online banking. Bank account beneficiaries may be added at any time.
There are various components to titling; one is using a transfer on death (TOD), generally used for investment accounts, or payable on death (POD) designation, used for bank accounts, which acts as a beneficiary designation to whom the account assets are to pass when the owner dies.
As Fidelity Investments notes, a TOD is a provision of a brokerage account that allows the accounts assets to pass directly to an intended beneficiary; the equivalent of a beneficiary designation. Though laws governing estate planning vary by state, many bank accounts, investment accounts and even deeds are TOD
Beneficiary designations override wills, so if you forget to change them, the person named will receive the money, even if that was not your intent. You should review beneficiaries for all of your accounts every year or so.
What Is the Difference Between TOD and Beneficiary? A transfer on death is an instrument that transfers ownership of specific accounts and assets to someone. A beneficiary is someone that is named to receive something of value.

A beneficiary form states who will directly inherit the asset at your death. Under a TOD arrangement, you keep full control of the asset during your lifetime and pay taxes on any income the asset generates as you own it outright. TOD arrangements require minimal paperwork to establish.
The principal advantage includes avoiding probate. Because you name a beneficiary for your Transfer on Death account (TOD), the account passes to the beneficiary at your death, without the need for probating your will with respect to that account.
Disadvantages of a Transfer on Death Deed For example, your property will be subject to probate court if your beneficiary predeceases you and you lack an alternate estate plan. Another disadvantage is if you co-own property under a joint tenancy.
Because TOD accounts are still part of the decedents estate (although not the probate estate that the will establishes), they may be subject to income, estate, and/or inheritance tax. TOD accounts are also not out of docHub for the decedents creditors or other relatives.
Beneficiary Designations And Disinheritances If your goal is to remove someone as a beneficiary, then you have two options. First, you can redistribute the inheritance among your other beneficiaries. Second, you can name a new beneficiary to take over that portion of your estate. Ultimately, this choice is up to you.
