Primary Beneficiary
Enter the full legal name, date of birth, and relationship of the person you want to receive the policy proceeds. This can be a spouse, child, or trusted friend.
Contingent Beneficiary
If the primary beneficiary is unable to claim the benefit, a contingent beneficiary steps in. Provide the same details for this secondary choice.
Updating Your Beneficiaries
Life changes—marriage, divorce, birth, or death—require updates. Submit a written request or use the online form to revise beneficiaries. Ampian will confirm changes by email.
Legal and Tax Considerations
Beneficiaries receive the death benefit tax‑free, but certain trusts or estate plans might affect how the money is distributed. Consult an estate attorney if you have complex arrangements.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the beneficiary field blank; the policy then pays the estate.
- Using a nickname instead of a full legal name, which can delay payment.
- Not updating after a major life event.
