Can a trust be named a payable on death?

A trust itself cannot be directly designated as payable on death (POD) because POD designations typically apply to bank accounts or financial assets, allowing them to transfer directly to a named beneficiary upon the account holder's death. However, assets held within a trust can be structured to transfer to beneficiaries upon the trust creator's death according to the trust's terms. To achieve a similar effect, one could establish a revocable trust and name beneficiaries to receive the trust assets after the grantor's death.
