This page shows FDIC insurance on trust accounts is subject to the number of beneficiaries. Yet a bank will open a trust account given only the number of trustees, not the number of beneficiaries. An account with two trustees and one beneficiary might have $5m in it, a good amount of which the FDIC won't cover. So how does the FDIC actually know the correct grand total amount in all banks it is currently liable for? (I'm guessing they don't really know.)
