Yea, if you have two different contracts and the beneficiary is the same, you can have two different policies which is legal.But against same contract, you cannot take two policies when the beneficiary is the same which is illegal.

Is it legal to have two insurance policies for the same contract but for the same beneficiary?

It is totally illegal to have two insurance policies against same contract and same beneficiary. This is a serious contravention of law and in case any claim arises, the insured's claim will be summarily rejected and will be liable for explanation for such misrepresentation of facts.


What are the odds of the same woman being the beneficiary to three separate life insurance policies?

Actually the odds could be 100% if the woman's husband owned three different life insurance policies naming her as the primary beneficiary for each of the policies. Or, perhaps her parents each owned life insurance policies, as well, and named her as the primary beneficiary.

What if the beneficiary of a life insurance is deceased?

When a life insurance policy is purchased, the purchaser (usually the insured) designates a primary beneficiary and a contingent beneficiary. The contingent beneficiary gets the proceeds if the primary beneficiary predeceases the insured. The insured can name a new primary beneficiary by contacting the insurance company or the insurance agent. THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR PURCHASED LIFE POLICIES___ NOT POLICIES THROUGH AN EMPLOYER UNDER ERISA.

A life insurance policy is a contract. You can have as many as you want. They all have to pay out on the death of the insured.


Do you claim the money from life insurance policies from your parents death?

If you are the named beneficiary of their life policies you do. You can call and ask the insurance companies who the beneficiary is and they will tell you that much. I presume your question had to do with claiming the death proceeds as income. If so, the answer is NO! Life insurance proceeds are received income tax free.


What is the purpose of insurance policies?

An insurance policy is a contract between an insurance company and the person purchasing the policy (or the insured). The policy costs a specified amount and if all premiums are paid in a timely manner, once the insured has died, their beneficiary (who whomever they name) will be paid a sum of money.


If I'm the beneficiary of life insurance policies of my brother and who named me as beneficiary prior to his marriage and during his marriage do I still have legal rights to this life insurance?

You will receive the death benefit unless your brother has changed the beneficiary. Regardless of marriage, divorce, life changes, etc; unless the insured contacts their insurance company and changes their beneficiary, the money will go to the specified beneficiary; FYI- your brother would not be required to notify you as current (or ex) beneficiary if he changed the policy. Also, many life insurance policies have a primary and a successor beneficiary; the successor is the person who would receive the benefit if something were to happen to both the insured and the primary beneficiary.

What happens if you find additional insurance policies where beneficary listed is absolutely excluded in trust?

In order to find a trust with life insurance proceeds the trust must be named as the beneficiary of the insurance policy. Then the trust documents specify what the funds are used for that are in the trust. If there are other life insurance policies that are still active and have other individuals named as the beneficiaries then the money from those policies cannot be placed into the trust and will be paid directly to the current beneficiary listed with the insurance company. The trust will have no claim whatsoever on these policies. It could be that these policies had their beneficiary changed when the trust was set up and the trust is the current beneficiary of them as well and he just didn't put the change form in the policy. Whatever is on record with the insurance company will be the person that the benefits are paid to no matter what.
