Get StartedAs the owner of an insurance policy, you may want to make changes to your beneficiaries. Usually the insurance policy, an insurance company rule, or a state law requires that certain formalities be observed to effectuate the change of a beneficiary. For example, an insurance company may require that an owner use a company form to change a beneficiary. An owner may also be required to enclose the actual insurance policy with the letter requesting a change of beneficiary. You should consult your insurance agent to determine whether such formalities apply to you.A letter to an insurance company regarding a change of beneficiary should include the following information:Policy NumberInsured's NameOwner's NameName of the Primary Beneficiary (This can be either a proper name, like Jane Davis, or a categorical designation, like "my children.")Name of the Contingent Beneficiary (This can be either a proper name or a categorical designation.)
You can contact the life insurance company. They should be able to send you the necessary paperwork to change the beneficiary. If you have an agent, they should be able to help assist in the process too.
The owner of the policy can change the beneficiary of the policy. If the original beneficiary has died before the insured, the owner of the policy can designate a new beneficiary at any time.
