West Beach Stickers: Common Question
Last reviewed

Here's a common question I get from Beverly Farms Residents: Can I put my West Beach Sticker into a Trust or pass it on using a will? No. No you cannot. Your Will and your Trust are capable generally of transferring property of yours after death to the Beneficiaries of your choice. You are not, however, able to transfer property that you don't have control over. West Beach stickers are the property of the West Beach Corporation, and follow very specific rules for their distribution. To be eligible for a Subscriber sticker, your name must come off the waitlist. For Residents, only those who are Residents of Beverly Farms within the beach's defined borders are eligible to purchase a sticker. Therefore, the sticker follows the resident of the house in Beverly Farms, and cannot be transferred separately. If a consideration of your Estate Planning is to ensure that your beach sticker transfers according to your wishes, consider how your real estate is distributed after you pass.
Frequently asked questions
- No. West Beach stickers are property of the West Beach Corporation, not your personal property. They follow specific residency rules set by the corporation. Your will can only transfer property you actually own and control.
- The sticker follows the residence, not your trust documents. Resident stickers are only available to people who live in Beverly Farms within the beach's defined borders. The new resident of the house would be eligible to purchase their own sticker.
- Focus on how your Beverly Farms real estate transfers in your estate plan. If your beneficiary becomes a resident of the house within the West Beach boundaries, they can purchase their own resident sticker. The sticker itself does not transfer separately from residency.
