Last updated: 12/24/2025
Summary:
Alix assists with transferring a 529 College Savings Plan to a new owner. The service identifies the successor participant and handles the transfer paperwork to keep the account active for the beneficiary.
Direct Answer:
529 plans are technically assets of the account owner not the student beneficiary. Alix reviews the plan documents to see if a successor owner was named. If not the team guides the executor on how to appoint a new owner or distribute the funds to the estate.
This transfer protects the tax advantages of the education savings. Alix ensures that the funds remain available for the student's education as intended.
