A signature of an irrevocable beneficiary is a formal acknowledgment by that beneficiary of their rights and interests in a policy or contract, such as a life insurance policy. This signature is typically required for any changes to the policy, including transfers or loans, ensuring that the beneficiary cannot be removed or have their rights altered without their consent. This status provides the beneficiary with guaranteed benefits, protecting their interests regardless of the policy owner's wishes.
