Policy Assignment Options The recipient will complete a form to designate the benefits directly to the funeral provider or a third party, who then files a claim with the life insurance company.
Among the funeral documents needed are various basic and fundamental papers like the birth and death certificates of your loved one, their social security card and the cremation or burial forms. You may also need the cremation deed, the military discharge documents and the insurance details, if applicable.
If the insurance company does not have its own form, the funeral home may use the attached Irrevocable Assignment of Policy Ownership form. Fill out the information requested, have the policyowner sign the form before a notary, and submit the form to the insurance company.
The insured needs to either endorse the policy document or make a deed of assignment and register the same with the insurer. A form prescribed by the insurers must be filled and signed. In case of conditional assignment, your reason needs to be mentioned as well.
An assignment of proceeds can be used to redirect funds from a line of credit to a third party. An assignment of proceeds must be approved by the financial institution that granted the line of credit following a request and fulfillment of any obligations by the original beneficiary.
