Courtney
Kansas City, MO
This is a very smart question, Courtney; thank you for asking this.
More often than not, life insurance policies are acquired because parents are thinking of their children’s future and sometimes, these children may be quite young. Because of this, many people will commit the mistake of naming their children as their beneficiaries, which can create some problems for both the beneficiaries and the insurance company. Remember, Courtney that there is a certain age before children can enter into legal binding contracts. Say, if your child was only twelve when you passed away and she was your beneficiary, she will not be able to sign legal documents, as well as receive any proceeds from your life insurance policy. Because of this, naming children as beneficiaries are discouraged. You can name in their place instead, some guardians whom you fully trust to fulfill your wishes, if you can not name your spouse for some reason. By default, you see, spouses are the default beneficiaries of life insurance policies. Be careful also when you use descriptions to name your beneficiary. Some descriptions change over time such as “spouse” (which can be changed by divorce or annulment). Therefore, whenever you change your status, it is also a good idea to review your life insurance policy to ensure that it is updated. You can also add your children as your beneficiary when the right time comes, just make sure to inform your insurer from Kansas City, Missouri that you would like to do so.
