Once youre ready to purchase life insurance an important step is to name a beneficiary for the policy. Please know the absolute worst thing you can do is name a minor child as the beneficiary. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed to directly inherit any money.
You should not list minor children as direct beneficiaries on ANY accounts. They will require court supervised guardianship which is a massive hardship on the guardian (much more than a trusteeship or UTMA custodian).
In the Will, you will name who will have your Power of Attorney, appoint the Guardian and Executor for your minor children, and state your wishes for your assets. There may be state-specific tax and inheritance laws youll want to consider when creating a will.
Minors are legally unable to manage large sums of money, and cash payouts to minors often require court-appointed custodians. If youve listed your child as a beneficiary, the court could delay disbursing funds until the proper guardianship or custodianship is established.
Naming Your Child as a Beneficiary Can Saddle Your Childs Guardian with Burdensome Legal Obligations. The guardian of the property has many legal obligations. This person must obtain permission from a judge to buy and sell certain assets and may be required to obtain permission before using the money for the child.
