<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Haven’t run into this one before. Deceased left a bank account with Sound Credit Union in Tacoma with about $46k in it. Decedent was married to husband A and divorced in 2012. Dissolution Decree
left the bank account to Decedent. The bank account was in both names of Decedent and husband A and husband A was the named beneficiary. In 2018 Decedent was remarried but she never took any action to change the beneficiary of the bank account. Decedent passed
unexpectedly in a private airplane accident last July along with her new husband B. Sound Credit says they will honor the terms of the Disso Decree but since the bank account names husband A as beneficiary, he is the one entitled to the funds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Do any of you know if there is a provision like RCW 11.12.051 that also terminates any non-testamentary gifts to a beneficiary? Seems like equity would follow that line but as we all know, banks
and equity are not a good match.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
