If the policyholder (owner) is not the insured, then the policy ownership would flow according to the owner's will.
What is a primary beneficiary?
A primary beneficiary is the individual or entity designated to receive the primary benefits from a legal agreement, such as a will, trust, or insurance policy, upon the occurrence of a specified event, like the death of the policyholder.

This designation can be changed by the policyholder, and it's crucial for ensuring that the intended recipient receives the benefits.
