savings for grandkids

By Terry Savage on June 05, 2026 | Financial Planning / Retirement

I want to set up accounts for my 7 grandkids to get when I pass away. What kind of accoounts would be best? I think I need to get CDs in my my name, and they would be beneficiaries.

Nope. Presuming they are young children, you’ll want to open a 529 colleges savings plan for each.

And I’m assuming you have an updated estate plan of your own — preferably a revocable living trust.
