Taxation, changing business structure, formation, ownership, and distribution of profit.
A convertible term insurance policy works by allowing you to amend the coverage period in return for a change in the premium payable. This is highly useful to businesses with ever changing amounts of stock or who wish to add new premises to their insurance policies
it is not a taxable event however the new owner has to have insurable interest on the insured for that to be approved
Insurance policy portability is important if you are considering changing jobs in the future, or in case of job loss (quit your job or get fired). Most insurance plans through employers are NOT portable. All insurance plans taken individually are portable, meaning you can take the policy with you when you leave your employer.
Whoever is the named beneficiary on the policy will collect the death benefit.
No, only the person showing as the policy owner can make any changes on a life insurance policy, including changing the beneficiary. In some situations, the beneficiary is also the owner - in that case changes can be made.
The beneficiary of a life insurance policy is solely up to the policy holder. It's not very likely that the insurance agent would give advise other than to inform the policy holder that they have the right to designate any person they wish as their beneficiary. Although you could certainly sue almost anyone for almost anything, Winning the suit is another matter.
If you are the owner of the policy all you need to do is contact the agent or the insurance company and express your intent. They will send out the appropriate paperwork for you to fill out and sign.
Only the owner of the policy can change the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or make any other changes to the policy. Most of the time the owner and person insured is the same person but not always. The owner is usually the one who paid the premiums. If you are the owner, changing the beneficiary is a simple completion of a change form. Most insurance companies have a change form that has places for several different types of changes on one sheet of paper. After the change in beneficiary is processed the company will send you a certified copy to place in your policy.
This would be very tricky and probably involve legal issues. A "new form" found after death changing beneficiary would always bring about suspicions. Did the owner intend to change the policy or not? They did not complete the transaction by filing the change with the insurance carrier. It is my opinion that the court would rule in favor of the beneficiary currently listed on the policy at the time of death. You could never prove the intent of the policy owner to change the beneficiary if they did not file the change of beneficiary form which is a very easy process to do.
you must notify your lawyer who has your will on file.
If a decedent was the owner of a life insurance policy you may need to probate their estate in order for ownership of the policy to pass to the heirs. You need to contact the insurance company listed on the policy and inquire there about changing the ownership.

You cannot purchase insurance on someone without their knowledge and participation. The insured has to answer the underwriting questions in person and sign the application in the presence of the insurance agent. The insured does not have to be the policy owner or payer. The owner is the only person that can make changes to the policy including changing beneficiary, address, payment method, etc.
The legal system generally will allow you to contest anything you like. However, you chances of changing a designated beneficiary on someone else's IRA are slim. If you decide to contest a beneficiary, recommend you contact an attorney for advice.
