Broadridge does not maintain beneficiary records on behalf of shareholders as a transfer agent. However, you have options in registering your account that may assist you with your estate planning. You may register a Transfer on Death (TOD) account or a Trust account. Please read the descriptions below to determine if these account types apply to your situation.

Transfer on Death Account: This is an account where a shareholder can name one beneficiary. If the shareholder(s) die(s), the assets will be transferred to the named beneficiary. If you wish to name multiple beneficiaries, you must establish separate accounts detailing a different beneficiary.

Registration example: John Doe TOD Mary Doe

Trust Account: If you have established a trust, you can register your shares in the name of your trust. In a trust, the trustee would follow the instructions in the documents. The trust documents would state who the successor trustee(s) would be if the named trustee(s) die(s) or can no longer serve as trustee. The successor trustee(s) would be responsible for following the directives in the trust and disbursing the trust’s assets to the beneficiaries.

Registration example: John Doe TTEE John Doe Living Trust U/A/D 1/1/1990

To establish a Transfer on Death or Trust account, you must transfer the shares into a new account. To transfer the shares, please follow the instructions below:
