What is a beneficiary?

A beneficiary is the person, people, trust, estate, or organization designated to receive a policy's death benefit. A policy may name more than one beneficiary and assign percentages to each.

Beneficiary choices deserve careful attention, especially after marriage, divorce, a birth, a death, or another major life change.

Review your policy and contact the insurer or a qualified professional before making changes.

Educational information only. Coverage, eligibility, premiums, benefits, exclusions, waiting periods, and availability vary by policy, carrier, age, health, and state. Review the policy and speak with a licensed insurance professional before applying or replacing coverage. Wayne Cummings is a Florida-licensed life and health insurance agent, NPN 20077806.
