How do I name an account successor or charitable beneficiary?

Written by Support
Updated today

Daffy's Legacy Plan allows members to designate what happens to their Daffy account in the event of their death. Members can name an individual successor, a charitable beneficiary, or both.

Adding a Successor

A successor is an individual who takes over as the organizer of a member's Daffy account. All successors must meet Daffy's eligibility criteria.

If a successor is unreachable, unavailable, or unwilling to take responsibility for the account, any remaining balance will be transferred to Daffy's general charitable fund.
​


To add a successor:

On Web

  1. Add the successor's information

On iOS

  1. Tap the gear icon in the top right

  2. Select Your Account, then Legacy Plan

  3. Add the successor's information

Adding a Charitable Beneficiary

A charitable beneficiary is a charity or nonprofit that receives the full account balance upon a member's death. Upon notification, Daffy will review the designation and send an unrestricted donation of the full balance to the named organization.

Members are responsible for ensuring Daffy has the correct contact information for the organization and that the organization remains in good standing with the IRS. Currently, only one charitable beneficiary can be named per Daffy account.
​


To add a charitable beneficiary:

On Web

  1. Add the charity's name and federal tax ID (EIN)

  2. Click Save Instructions

On iOS

  1. Tap the gear icon in the top right

  2. Select Your Account, then Legacy Plan

  3. Add the charity's name and federal tax ID (EIN)

Additional Information

If a Daffy account already has an additional member listed (i.e., through a Family membership), that person remains on the account, and the successor or charitable beneficiary will not be contacted.
​

Any remaining account balance will be transferred to Daffy's general charitable fund if:

  • No successor or charitable beneficiary has been named, or

  • The named successor or charitable beneficiary is unreachable, unavailable, unwilling, or no longer operable

For more details, see the Legacy Planning section of the Member Agreement.
