Beneficiary Designations

How to provide for a beneficiary with your Slay Markets account.

Individual Slay Markets accounts do not have an option to add a beneficiary or transfer-on-death designation. To provide for a beneficiary, you would open a joint account with that person and transfer your balance from your individual account into the new joint account. To open a joint account or transfer a balance, contact Slay Markets support at support@slaymarkets.com.

Important: An individual NinjaTrader Clearing account carried through Slay Markets has no option to add a beneficiary to the existing account. The way to provide for a beneficiary is to open a joint account with that person and move your balance into it. For inheritance or account-ownership planning, consult an estate planning attorney.

Your individual Slay Markets account does not have a beneficiary screen, so there is nothing to add or update from your Account Dashboard. To provide for a beneficiary, open a joint account with that person and transfer your balance from your individual account into the new joint account:

Because individual accounts have no beneficiary designation, opening a joint account is the way to provide for another person. For inheritance or account-ownership planning — especially after major life events such as marriage, divorce, or a death in the family — consult a qualified estate planning attorney.

There is no beneficiary screen to edit on an individual account, so providing for someone else means opening a joint account with that person and moving your balance into it. Opening a joint account and transferring a balance are both handled by our support team — there is no self-service option in the Account Dashboard. To get started, contact Slay Markets support at support@slaymarkets.com and we will walk you through the steps.

When Slay Markets receives a certified death certificate and other required legal documentation for an account holder who has passed away, the Slay Markets account is restricted from new trading. Because individual accounts carry no beneficiary designation, the estate's representative or the surviving joint account holder should contact Slay Markets support at support@slaymarkets.com to begin the process. Distribution of the assets follows the account holder's estate.

Q: Can I add a beneficiary to my individual Slay Markets account?

A: No. Individual accounts have no option to add a beneficiary or transfer-on-death designation. To provide for a beneficiary, open a joint account with that person and transfer your balance from your individual account into the new joint account.

Q: How do I open a joint account or transfer my balance into one?

A: Contact Slay Markets support at support@slaymarkets.com. Our team handles opening the joint account and transferring your balance from your individual account into it — there is no self-service option in the Account Dashboard.

Q: What happens to my individual account assets when I pass away?

A: Because individual accounts carry no beneficiary designation, the assets pass through your estate rather than directly to a named beneficiary. If you want another person to receive your balance, open a joint account with them. For estate and inheritance planning, consult a qualified estate planning attorney.

Q: Do beneficiary designations affect estate taxes?

A: This is a tax and legal question. Consult a qualified estate planning attorney or tax advisor.
