Please read the Michigan Education Savings Program Description before changing the
Account Owner and/or Beneciary on a Program Account. You may also wish to consult
with your nancial, legal and/or tax advisor before completing this form.
If a change of Account Owner is requested, and you have not already opened a new
account, you must also must submit an Account Application, along with this form
(unless the new Account Owner already maintains a Program Account for the Beneciary).
If a change of Beneciary is requested, the new Beneciary must be a “member of the
family” of the previous Beneciary, as described in Section 529 of the Internal Revenue
Code. A change of Beneciary is not permissible for custodial accounts opened under the
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA).
A new account number will be assigned to the Account opened for the new Account
Owner and/or Beneciary, unless an Account already exists for that Account Owner/
Beneciary and the existing number is provided below.
A Medallion Signature Guarantee may be required in Section 4 for Accounts in which
the individual completing this form is acting in a legal capacity
as a representative of the
Account Owner.

Transfer Form
Program at the above address.
Important: To avoid adverse tax consequences on the Account transfer, the new Beneciary must be a Member of the Family of the former
Beneciary, as dened in the Michigan Education Savings Program Description. If the new Beneciary is not an eligible family member, the
change will be considered a Non-Qualied Withdrawal, which means that it may be subject to both state and federal income tax and an
additional 10% federal penalty tax on any earnings.
