Deceased customers, successoral undivided co-ownerships

So long as an estate has not been settled, deceased customers are treated as full holders and are covered by the deposit guarantee scheme on their own, independently of their heirs. For compensation, the FGDR contacts the notary responsible for the estate. If there is no designated notary, the FGDR may assign the procedure to its own notary.

Divided accounts (beneficial interest/bare ownership)

Ownership of these accounts has been divided between bare ownership and beneficial interest through a specific agreement. The beneficial owner (or the undivided co-ownership of the beneficial owners) receives the compensation and is responsible for repaying the bare owner. The compensation paid to beneficial owners is separate from the compensation for which they may also be eligible with respect to their other accounts.
