Please have the following documents available for reference when you call:

• Death certificate.
• Social Security number of the decedent.
• Trust or estate documents if applicable.

Our goal is to help the confirmed beneficiary claim the account when ready. A member of our beneficiary support services team will discuss all available options based on the type of investment account.

In addition, we encourage contacting an accountant, financial planner or tax advisor for additional counsel.

On average, the claim process takes one month for you to gather and submit documents, and for document review and processing. To help us process your request:

• Write legibly.
• Ensure signature dates match notary dates.
• Mail death certificates with water marks to ensure readability. If you are sending via fax, photocopy them first to see if they are readable.
• Review federal and state withholding rules in the instruction guide.

A member of our beneficiary support service team can help the confirmed beneficiary:

• Open an IRA with Personal Asset and continue to prepare for retirement.
• Request regular installment payments.
• Open a new account.
• Transfer funds to an existing account.
• Receive a check.
