Beneficiaries & Payable-on-Death Guidance

Why beneficiary information matters and when members should review it.

Keep beneficiary information current.

Life events can change who you want to receive account funds. Beneficiary rules vary by account ownership and applicable law, so confirm changes directly with LNFCU.

When to review

  • Marriage or divorce
  • Birth or adoption
  • Death of a beneficiary
  • Major estate-plan change
  • Opening or closing accounts

How to make a change

Contact LNFCU for the current form, identification requirements, and account-specific instructions. Do not assume a will automatically changes an account designation.

Contact LNFCU

Keep records consistent

Review names, addresses, and relationship information carefully. Ask how primary and contingent beneficiaries are handled for the specific account.

Sensitive documentation

If LNFCU requests supporting legal or identity documents, use the Secure Document Center.
