[WSBARP] Probate Funds - Estate Account - Treasury Bonds?

[Jeanne Dawes]

Check with Umpqua bank and wash. Trust bank. I believe both have accounts with higher FDIC insurance availability, I know Umpqua does, not sure about WTB.

Dear Listmates,

Probate estate account have close to 900K. We are trying to open additional estate accounts (with a lot of push back from local banks) to reduce the amount in each account to FDIC insured limit.

Estate may need to be open for another 6-12 months. Beneficiaries are foreign nationals and do not want interim distributions.

The idea of estate obtaining a treasury bond has been floated, but I have little faith in such a course of action.

Any ideas about how one can better handle the situation in the current banking/inflationary climate?

Happy holidays, Neli
