For example, you could designate a primary beneficiary to receive 50 percent of the funds and two secondary beneficiaries who receive 25 percent each.
TOD account holders can name multiple beneficiaries and divide assets any way they like.However, the beneficiaries have no access or rights to a TOD account while its owner is alive. Those beneficiaries can also be changed at any time, so long as the TOD account holder is deemed mentally competent.

You can name multiple people as the beneficiary, as well as an organization. List the beneficiary's complete name and avoid titles.
All you need to do is fill out a simple form, provided by the bank, naming the person you want to inherit the money in the account at your death. As long as you are alive, the person you named to inherit the money in a payable-on-death (POD) account has no rights to it.
