The holder is the owner, In the case of Life Insurance , the person paid is the beneficiary .
Yes. If there is a contingent beneficiary, the insurance company will need proof that the primary predeceased the principal in order to pay the contingent beneficiary. If there was no contingent beneficiary named the insurance company will pay the proceeds to the principal's estate.
In case of death of the policy holder, with beneficiary already deceased and there is no will, the Insurance Company will pay only to the Legal Heir of the Policy Holder. The death claim will be kept in abeyance till the legal heir proves his legal identity to the satisfaction of the Insurance Company.
In that case, the money will be kept deposited with the insurance company as unclaimed amount. In absence of the beneficiary, the insurance company can pay the money to the legal heir of the policy holder, but that has to be sufficiently proved in the Court of Law.
The life insurance proceeds must enter the estate, The Executor of the estate will then determine how, when and to whom it should be dispersed.
When referring to life insurance, a beneficiary is a person specified by the contract holder. This beneficiary will receive the benefits if the primary beneficiary has died at the time the benefit is to be paid.
In case of demise of the life insurance policy holder, only the NOMINEE is the beneficiary to get the amount. In case nomination is not done, the legal heir of the deceased person can apply before the insurance authority for the death benefit.
the person in whose name the policy is issued legally is known as policy holder the person who gains insurance cover is known as beneficiary ,it may be himself or dependents(nominees)
Usually the payout happens within 2-4 weeks from the date of claim by the next of kin. When a policy holder dies, the nominee of the policy has to submit paper-work to the insurance company along with proof of relationship and death of the policy holder. Once everything is completed, money would reach the beneficiary in around 2 to 4 weeks.
I assume the policy holder is the insured? Has the insured died? If not, It is time to change beneficiaries. Seek out the help of your agent to make sure you choose a properly named beneficiary. If the insured has died, there would have been a contingent beneficiary. All you need to do is contact the claims department of the insureds insurance company. If you are not the policy owner or the beneficiary, you are going to be limited in what info you can obtain but you can initiate the claim. 4lifeguild
The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is solely up to the policy holder. It's not very likely that the insurance agent would give advise other than to inform the policy holder that they have the right to designate any person they wish as their beneficiary. Although you could certainly sue almost anyone for almost anything, Winning the suit is another matter.
