How do i cash in a gulf life insurance police
Yes, the owner of the policy can make any changes regarding beneficiaries, split, benefit amount, etc. Ask for a "Policy change form" from your agent or insurance company.
No, only the OWNER of the insurance policy can sign the policy over. Sometimes the owner is the insured, but not always.
Absolutely Not!
Yes, the policy owner can change the beneficiary. Sometimes, the person insured and the policy owner are not the same person, if someone else pays the premium for the insurance policy. For example, a parent or guardian taking an insurance policy on spouse or children. Some insurance policies are assigned to cover bank loans, and even if the insured may pay the premium, the bank can be assigned as the owner of the policy; in that case the bank decides who the beneficiary is going to be (usually in this scenario, the bank will also be the beneficiary).
They don't, power of attorney doesn't make you the beneficiary. Only the person who owns the policy (usually the person the policy is on) can change the beneficiaries for the policy.
Absolutely; a step child is legitimately a member of a family and can be insured, or can be the beneficary of a family insurance policy, just like a biological child.
If you are named beneficiary on the polcicy it is contractually binding. Let them dispute all they want.
this may not be uncommon in settling a divorce. It generally involves protecting the welfare of children from the ending of a marriage.
I'm not an expert and I don't know what state you are in, but I would guess that whoever is named as the beneficiary on an insurance policy has absolutely no obligation to divide the money with anyone, including the children. You should probably consult with an attorney in your state.
You may take out an insurance policy on your parents if you have power of attorney over them.
If you die there will be no payout to your beneficary, This usually happens when you miss a premium payment and they 'suspend' the policy, allowing you to make the payment(s) up to date and will reinstate the policy, as opposed to a 'cancellation' or 'termination' when you have lost the policy never to be reinstated
