You may name a minor child as a beneciary, however please be aware that we cannot make payment of a claim directly to a
minor. If a claim is incurred we would need to make payment via UTMA or to the guardian of the minor’s nancial estate. Or, if
guardianship is not obtained and if UTMA does not apply, the benet will be placed On Hold - Age of Majority and payable once
the minor reaches the age of majority.

payable to them.
