Account Modifications Frequently Asked Questions

In order to add a name to your account, a Conversion Form must be completed and signed by the current member(s) and the person whose name will be added.  Please contact our office to obtain a Conversion Form.

For the following changes, you may simply provide us with a copy of your Social Security card or driver’s license, and a written request:

  • Correcting the existing spelling of your name
  • Correcting or adding a middle initial
  • Adding Jr./Sr. or I/II/III/IV to your name
  • Changing a Name Due to Marriage or Divorce

If the total value of the members’ capital credits is under $1000, the member who requests the name removal simply needs to sign an Agreement Under $1000 Form.  Please contact our office to obtain this form.

If the total value of the members’ capital credits is $1000 or more, all members must sign a Letter of Assignment Form, instructing SVEC of how the members would like the capital credits to be split or assigned.  Please contact our office to obtain a Letter of Assignment.
