If you've been a long time fan or client of wt360 you know we called for the coldest Summer in 5 years and wet-no drought in our forecast for the Eastern half of the U.S. this Summer. Hopefully that gives you a little hope that they can be totally wrong and not to panic on the Winter just yet.
A beneficiary is the person or entity you name in a life insurance policy to receive the death benefit. If you donât name a beneficiary, the death benefit will be paid to your estate. Two âlevelsâ of beneficiaries. Your life insurance policy should have both âprimaryâ and âcontingentâ beneficiaries. The primary beneficiary gets the death benefits if he or she can be found after your death. Contingent beneficiaries get the death benefits if the primary beneficiary canât be found.
Yes, an irrevocable beneficiary of a life insurance policy has a vested interested in the proceeds payable by the policy. A vested interest provides an irrevocable beneficiary with immediate rights â that means the policy holder cannot take certain actions without the permission of the irrevocable beneficiary.For example, a policy holder cannot change beneficiaries without the irrevocable beneficiaryâs consent.ou do not need a revocable beneficiary's consent to make changes to your policy. Unfortunately, when your life insurance benefits are paid, you will not be around, so be sure to choose beneficiaries carefully in order to avoid issues or a misinterpretation of your wishes down the road.
