Summary
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - In a Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS) account, assets pass directly to the surviving owner, avoiding probate, whereas in a Tenants in Common (TIC) account, the deceased's share goes to their estate. - A Transfer on Death (TOD) designation on an individual or joint account allows assets to bypass probate and go directly to a named beneficiary. - For corporate and partnership accounts, the firm must obtain a corporate resolution or partnership agreement to identify which individuals are authorized to trade. - Custodians of UGMA/UTMA accounts have a fiduciary duty, meaning they cannot use account assets for parental support obligations or engage in speculative trading. - Fiduciaries, such as trustees and estate executors, are governed by the Prudent Investor Rule and must provide legal documentation to prove their authority.
