You cannot add beneficiaries to all Vanguard account types. For example, we dont allow you to add beneficiaries to joint accounts because joint accounts simply pass to the surviving owner. Below are all the account types that are not eligible for beneficiaries.
Beneficiary Liability: A beneficiary named in a TOD deed becomes personally liable for the property owners unsecured debts up to the value of the property received. This result may have been unintended by the owner and as an unpleasant surprise to the beneficiary.
The Transfer on Death Plan is a straightforward way to designate beneficiaries for certain Vanguard nonretirement mutual fund and/or brokerage accounts.
This typically involves sending a copy of the death certificate and an application for re-registration to the transfer agent. State law, rather than federal law, governs the way securities may be registered in the names of their owners. In addition, brokerage firms may decide whether or not to offer TOD registration.
A transfer on death (TOD) ensures your assets are passed immediately to your designated beneficiaries after without legal hurdles, unlike a will, which has to go through the probate process that can be lengthy and tedious.

When you die, the beneficiaries receive the property without going to court, although they do have to notify all heirs and file or record several documents. As of Jan. 1, 2022, TOD deeds must now be signed by two witnesses, and after the donor dies, the beneficiaries must notify all heirs and file multiple papers.
A transfer on death (TOD) allows you to pass financial assets, such as bank accounts and investment portfolios, to your beneficiaries automatically. TODs allow for full control during the account holders lifetime, avoid probate, provide privacy, and are cost-effective.
Setting up a payable-on-death account could make sense if you want to make sure your beneficiaries have a source of ready cash when you pass away. But you may still need a living trust if you have other assets you want to transfer, such as real estate, vehicles, investments or business assets.
