Why the Form Matters

Key Components of the Form
The form typically includes:
- Policy number and current owner details
- New owner's name, address, and contact information
- Relationship between parties (e.g., parent, spouse)
- Effective date of ownership transfer
- Signature blocks for both parties
Supporting Documentation
To avoid delays, attach:
- Valid photo ID for the new owner
- Death certificate if the transfer follows a death
- Gift letter or sale agreement, when applicable
Filing Instructions
Send the completed form to Kemper's Policy Services department by mail or fax. The mailing address is:

Fax: (217) 555-1234. If filing electronically, log into your Kemper portal and upload the PDF.
Timing and Effective Date
The change becomes effective on the date specified in the form, provided all documents are received within 30 days. Delays in submission can postpone the transfer and affect premium calculations.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Errors such as misspelled names, incorrect policy numbers, or missing signatures often trigger rejections. Double‑check every field and keep a copy for your records.
After the Transfer
Once processed, Kemper will issue a new policy statement reflecting the new owner. Verify that beneficiary designations remain accurate, as they are not automatically updated by the ownership change.
When to Seek Assistance
If the policy is part of a complex estate plan or involves multiple parties, consider consulting a financial advisor or attorney before filing.
