BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
Please follow these instructions carefully when submitting this
form to prevent any delays caused by unclear or omitted
information. Be sure to read and fill out the form completely and
return all pages. This instruction page does not need to be
returned to us.
INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
1. Print clearly! Cross-through and initial any corrections or
changes. Do not use correction fluid.
2. Death proceeds shall be paid as shown on the
acknowledged and recorded Beneficiary Designation form. If
the terms of the contract conflict with the items listed in the
form, the terms of the contract prevail.
3. Use percentages in your designation. All proceeds must total
100 percent (%) in each category (Primary, Contingent,
Tertiary). If no percentages are listed, proceeds will be paid
equally.
4. If you are adding beneficiaries but not changing existing
beneficiaries, you must restate all existing beneficiaries.
5. When children are beneficiaries and not named individually,
all living and future children born to or adopted by the
insured are included unless otherwise designated. Unless
named individually, stepchildren are not included. This
designation should be listed as “all children of the insured.”
6. An irrevocable beneficiary is a designation that cannot be
changed without the irrevocable beneficiaries’ written consent.
If you designate an irrevocable beneficiary, the Company will
require the irrevocable beneficiary to consent in writing to
requests for other policy changes (i.e., assignment, contract
changes, loan or surrender requests, annuity withdrawals,
etc.). If you are naming an irrevocable beneficiary, state
“irrevocable” after the named beneficiary.
7. If the owner is a company, provide a corporate resolution
or similar document that lists all of the officers and/or
individuals authorized to sign on behalf of the company.
8. If this form is signed by a power of attorney, guardian or
conservator, a copy of the appropriate documentation is
required.
9. You may choose to designate a Testamentary Trust as your
beneficiary. A Testamentary Trust is created by that
instrument admitted to probate as the Last Will and
Testament of the insured. The funds shall be paid to the
trustee, or successor, named in that trust. This designation
should be listed as “Testamentary Trust”.
BENEFICIARY CLASS DEFINITIONS

death proceeds after the insured is deceased. Funds are paid
to all primary beneficiaries who are living/existing when the

who are living/existing.
CONTINGENT or the second or subsequent person(s)/
entity(ies) in line to receive the death proceeds after the
insured is deceased and there are no surviving primary

YOUR CONFIRMATION
By signing below:
I acknowledge this request is subject to the provisions and conditions of my policy/contract(s) and Assurity may request additional information in
order for my request to be processed.
I understand by submitting this document, I revoke any existing beneficiary designations with respect to any proceeds payable at the death of the
insured.
I acknowledge that payment to any designated trust as directed by this beneficiary designation ends the company’s responsibility in full. If a trust is
named as beneficiary but does not exist when the insured dies, or no trustee qualifies or makes claim within six (6) months after the insured dies, or the
company receives proof that no trustee will qualify or make claim, then the funds shall be paid as if that trust ceased to exist before the insured died.
