You must request a "change of" form from the insurance company that issued the policy. Then, the old owner must assign new ownership, and both the old owner and the new owner must sign the form, mail it to the insurance company. Once received and processed, the insurance company will issue an endorsement to the policy, indicating the change of ownership.
I guess what your question is how to transfer the ownership of insurance policy to the insured if they are different person. The owner of policy can simply sign the form called "policy ownership absolute transfer form" which you can find it through your insurance advisor. If the owner passed away, and you had assigned contingent owner when you applied the insurance, that ownership will be automatically transferred to the contingent owner. Hope it answers your question.
A life insurance policy is "portable" when upon leaving the group policy, you transfer your life coverage to an individual life policy with the same insurance carrier with no changes to the policy or increase in premium.
Change of ownership is not allowed in life insurance policy. Once the policy holder dies, accrued sum is payable to the nominee and the matter ends there. In that case, you are to take policy afresh.

Yes, it is possible to transfer your life insurance policy to another company through a process called a policy transfer or a policy assignment. This allows you to switch your coverage to a different insurer while maintaining the benefits and terms of your original policy.
If a decedent was the owner of a life insurance policy you may need to probate their estate in order for ownership of the policy to pass to the heirs. You need to contact the insurance company listed on the policy and inquire there about changing the ownership.
If it is a standard Life Insurance product, then that will have no bearing on whether or not it will pay. However, I would suggest transfering to joint ownership of the policy, so that the policy is owned by you and someone that you trust.
If ownership of the policy is assigned, the assignee is liable for future premium payments.
It is not important to have a life insurance policy.
The Policy Holder of a life insurance policy is the executor of the said policy.
For gift tax purposes, advisors regularly recommend that an insured who owns a policy in his own name transfer the policy to a new irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) to remove the policy from the insured's gross estate.
The owner of a life insurance policy is most frequently, but not always, the insured. If the insured is not the owner, and is still alive, he/she can contact the consurance company or the agent and designate another person as the owner.
