Do I have to fill out a beneficiary designation form?

Forms for Designations We recommend that you designate beneficiaries to receive your life insurance benefits. However, if you are happy with the order of precedence(PDF file), you dont have to do anything.

What is the VA automatic survivorship clause?

Unless otherwise noted in Section III, Additional Instructions, my insurance will be paid ing to the automatic survivorship clause as follows: If one or more principal beneficiary dies before me, the insurances will be divided between any remaining principal beneficiaries.

Do 100% disabled Veterans automatically get life insurance?

Yes. VA benefits include Service-Disability Life Insurance (S-DVI) for veterans who were disabled either by illness or injury during their service. Those veterans who qualify for total disability may receive a waiver of premiums for up to $10,000 in life insurance, which means the VA is paying for the policy.

What happens if I dont designate a beneficiary?

Most life insurance policies have a default order of payment if you do not name a beneficiary. For many individual policies, the death benefit will be paid to the owner of the policy if they are different than the insured person and still alive, otherwise it will be paid to the owners estate.

Do you have to inform beneficiaries?

While it is often beneficial to communicate with beneficiaries regarding the estate administration, executors are not required to comply with every single request for information.

Why do I need to designate a beneficiary?

It saves time. If you die and have not named a beneficiary, this will delay the transfer of whatever funds are in those accounts. In some instances, the delay could be significant and require that the person in charge of your affairs or estate complete a lot of paperwork to make it happen.
