Beneficiary - Designations: Right to Change the Beneficiary
Methods: Endorsement
The insured sends the policy to the insurer, who then endorse the change in the policy and returns the policy to the insured.
Beneficiary - Designations: Classes
These designations include specific but unnamed groups of individuals, such as "the children of the insured"
Beneficiary - Designations: Estates
If the insured does not name any beneficiaries to the Life Insurance policy the death benefit will enter his/her estate at the time of his death. The death benefit will also enter the insureds estate if all beneficiaries to the policy predecease the insured.
Whole Life insurance policy death benefits generally pass to the beneficiary free of income taxes, the policy death benefit is part of the estate, and if the death benefit is part of the estate, estate taxes do need to be paid if the taxable estate value is larger enough to be subject to taxes.
Beneficiary - Designations: Minor Beneficiaries
Minors may also be designated, but no monies would be paid directly to them. Instead, payment would be made on their behalf to the executor or administrator of the insureds estate or to a trust.
Beneficiary - Designations: Trusts
An arrangement in which property is held by a person or corporation (trustee) for the benefit of others (beneficiaries). The person establishing the trust (grantor) gives the trustee title to the trust assets that are called corpus, which is subject to the terms of the agreement. Trusts are often used when minor children are to be the beneficiaries of a Life Insurance policy.
Beneficiary - Designations: Revocable Beneficiary

Beneficiary - Designations: Irrevocable Beneficiary

Beneficiary - Succession
The order in which beneficiaries receive benefits under a Life Insurance or annuity policy. First is the primary beneficiary, followed by the contingent beneficiary. If both predecease the insured, the tertiary beneficiary would receive the benefits.
Uniform Simultaneous Death Act
Statue enacted in some states to alleviate the problem of simultaneous death when the will doesn't specify what to do.
If two(2) persons die within 120 hours of one another, each is considered to have predeceased the other.
Purpose is to save the heirs of the estate time and money. Statue prevents the inheritance from being transferred and taxed multiple times.
Common Disaster Clause
A Life Insurance policy provision that states that the primary beneficiary must survive the insured by a specified period, such as 60-90 days, in order to receive the policy proceeds. Otherwise, the policy proceeds will be paid as though the primary beneficiary had died before the insured.
Spendthrift Clause/Trust
This clause protects the proceeds received by a beneficiary from being confiscated by any creditors to whom the beneficiary owes money. The clause imposes legally binding restraints on transfers-voluntary or involuntary-of assets from the trust so that only the beneficiary receives the assets. The beneficiaries cannot voluntarily transfer or alienate their interests; the beneficiaries' creditors or creditors of the individual transferring assets to the trust cannot invade or attach to the trust and its assets. If it is a large enough estate, a spendthrift trust can provide financial security for more than one generation of the same family. When the trust is terminated assets may be bequeathed or disbursed to a qualified charity.
It can also protect trust assets from being raided by a spouse or child.
Facility of Payment Clause
Allows the insurer to pay the death benefit to someone other than the beneficiary under certain conditions. This clause generally appears in group life or industrial policies.
Settlement Options
Choices available to the insured/owner for distribution of insurance proceeds.
Settlement Options: Face Amount
The policy death benefit, the sum of money that will be paid in the case of death of the insured or at the policys maturity. Outstanding policy loans will reduce the face amount at time of payout.
Settlement Options: Cash Payment/Lump Sum
This is the automatic settlement option.
The entire amount of the insurance proceeds due or still owed is payable to the beneficiary in one(1) sum. If there are any policy loans outstanding, or if any vatical payments have been made, these amounts will be subtracted from the cash payment.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
If the lump sum payment is not chosen, it basically becomes an annuity. The insurance company retains the cash sum and makes payments in accordance with another chosen settlement option.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Life Income
Payments are made in equal installments over the remainder of the annuitants life, and then all payments cease.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Life Income - Fixed Amount (Annuity Certain), or Lifetime Annuity
Fixed monthly pension covering the annuitant alone and ends when the annuitant dies. If the annuitant dies two(2) or three(3) months after payouts begin, then that's it, and the insurer keeps the remaining money. Due to the higher risk (not knowing when the annuitant will die), this form of payout option usually yields the highest periodic payment to the annuitant.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Joint Lifetime/Joint Life Annuity
A fixed monthly pension covering the annuitant and spouse or other beneficiary. Payment stops upon death of the first to die.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Life Annuity, Period Certain
Payments are made for the annuitants lifetime, but will continue to a beneficiary if the insured dies before a certain number of years has passed.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Life Income Joint and Survivor
Payments are guaranteed for the lifetime of two(2) or more annuitants. If either person dies, the payments continue at a predetermined arrangement. They may be at the full and original amount, or at some fraction of the full amount, such as three-fourths(3/4), or one-half(1/2) of the original payout.
Settlement Options: Supplementary Contracts
Periodic Payments
Result in an income lasting a guaranteed number of years. Payments will be higher in the lifetime option but will stop after the specified period of time.
Surrender
The cancellation of the policy b y the policy owner and the subsequent payment of any cash values to the owner by the insurance company.
Endowment
When an insured reaches the age of 100, the Whole Life policy endows. This means that the cash value in the policy is equal to the face value of the policy, coverage ends, and the cash value of the policy is paid out to the owner of the policy.
Capital Liquidation
Payments come from part of the principal plus the interest.
Interest Only (Capital Conservation)
With this option the death benefit is deposited into an annuity and the interest from the annuity is the only thing the beneficiary receives. This method keeps the full principle amount intact forever, as no money is taken from the principle. Long-term trusts may be set up with a life insurance endowment perpetually funding the trust through an "interest-only" settlement option.
Fixed Period Option
A Life insurance Settlement option under which the beneficiary receives a regular income for a specified period of time, such as 10 years, at which time the principal and interest are depleted. The name speaks for itself.
Fixed Amount Option
A Life insurance Settlement option under which the beneficiary receives a fixed amount (such as $500 a month) for an unspecified period of time. Payments continue until the principal and interest are depleted.
Non-Forfeiture Options: Standard Non-Forfeiture Law
Requires that all cash values or their equivalent must be made available to the policyholder if they cancel the policy or want to stop paying premiums. The policy owner may elect one of three options:
1. Cash Surrender Value
2. Reduced Paid-Up Insurance
3. Extended Term Option
Non-Forfeiture Options: Standard Non-Forfeiture Law
1. Cash Surrender Value Option
Policyholder receives the policys cash value or cash accumulation as a lump sum.
Any outstanding policy loans are deducted form the cash payout.
Non-Forfeiture Options: Standard Non-Forfeiture Law
2. Reduced Paid-Up Insurance
Coverage continues at a reduced face amount as determined by the policys cash value.
The cash value acts as a single premium payment to purchase a Whole Life policy. The new policy will grow cash values and develop dividends, as did the original policy.
Non-Forfeiture Options: Standard Non-Forfeiture Law
3. Extended Term Option
Purchases Term Insurance in a face amount equal to the original policys face amount. The Term policys length is the time bought by the original policys cash value.
This is the automatic option if the a policy lapses without he owner selecting an option.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Cash Value
Value of the cash fund within a Permanent Life insurance policy that is part of the death benefit and owned by the policy owner for purposes of cash surrender or policy loans.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Cash Values and Policy Loans
Money paid into a Whole Life policy accumulates as guaranteed cash values which are available to the insured upon surrender.
As long as the policy is in force, the insured may borrow against the cash value as a policy loan at the current policy loan interest rate.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Automatic Premium Loan
Elective policy feature that borrows money from the policys cash value to pay any premium not paid by the end of the grace period. This helps reduce cancellations of a policy owners neglect or forgetting to pay the premium on time.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Automatic Premium Loan: Taxation
Death benefit is income tax-free if premiums are paid with after-tax dollars.
Policy loans are tax-free (non-MEC policies), which would be paid off at the time of death by the death benefit.
Cash values would be available on a tax-free basis in the form of refunds of premiums paid in and policy loans.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Partial Surrender/Withdrawal
Unlike a policy loan, this is a payout of a partial amount of the cash value without the necessity of paying the money back. The face amount of the death benefit can be reduced or the premium may need to be increased to keep the policy in force.
Policy Loans and Withdrawals/Partial Surrenders
Consequences of a Partial Surrender
The contract has FIFO withdrawal status after 10 years (FIFO: First In, First Out), meaning that withdrawals are treated as having come first from the cost basis in the contract. Once the cost basis is exhausted, the remainder of partial withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income.
Dividend Options
What are policy dividends?
Return of unused premiums
Life Insurance Dividends and Taxes
Dividends are not subject to current income tax, but interest received on the dividends is subject to current income tax
Dividend Uses
1. Cash Payment
2. Reduction of the Next Years Premium

The insured may purchase a one-year term policy with a death benefit up to an amount equal to the policys cash value.
Dividend Uses
5. Paid-Up Additions
These are units of single premium insurance purchased with dividends of participating policies. They will develop cash value and future dividends.
This is the automatic dividend option if the owner fails to select one himself.
Riders/Endorsements
Optional attachments to an insurance policy that modify its conditions by expanding or restricting benefits or excluding certain conditions from coverage
Disability Riders

-Variable or Universal policies have only the actual insurance portion of the premium waived; the insurer does not continue any additional investment funding

Disability Riders
Taxation
The death benefit is income tax-free if premiums re paid with after-tax dollars.
Policy Lonas are tax-free and if they are not paid off earlier, then they would be paid off at the death by the death benefit (does NOT apply to MEC policies)
Cash values would be available on a tax free basis in the form of refunds of premiums paid in and policy loans.
Disability Riders
Death of Payor Rider/Payor Death Benefit Rider/Payor Benefit Clause

Accelerated Living Benefit Provision/Rider
This rider allows a policy owner to "accelerate" receipt of a portion of the policy's death benefit upon the insureds occurrence of a terminal illness, a catastrophic illness, or eligibility for long-term care

Is no longer able to preform two(2) of the following activities of daily living:
-Bathing
-Dressing
-Eating
-Continence

-Transferring
Proceeds from the policy, in these instances, would better serve the insured by helping pay for necessary healthcare, rather than being available to beneficiaries after death.
