You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how it must be managed. A well drafted trust will include a provision for an alternate beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies or it will include a provision for the termination of the trust and distribution of any remaining trust property.

Does a secondary beneficiary only receive funds from a life insurance policy if the primary beneficiary has already passed?

Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.

Grantor conveyed their property to a trust reserving a life estate. If the sole beneficiary dies before the Grantor does the property revert back to the original Grantor?

No. Not unless the trustor made that reverter a provision of the trust.If a grantor transferred their property to a trust and reserved a life estate, the life estate continues even if the beneficiary of the trust dies. There should be a provision in the trust that directs where the property should go in the case of the death of the sole beneficiary. This is a good example of the need for an expert to draft any trust.You need to review the terms of the trust to determine how the trust property will be distributed. If the trust doesn't address this issue then it may need to be addressed by a court.
