FAQ
You can request a transfer form directly from your life insurance company. However, you may also have to change the policy to indicate that the insured is no longer the owner. After the transfer, the new owner is responsible for making all premium payments.
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.

It's worth noting that an assignee may also be referred to as a beneficiary, depending on the specific terms of the policy. In some cases, the terms "assignee" and "beneficiary" may be used interchangeably, but in others, they may refer to different legal concepts.
Since the policyowner actually owns the policy, not the insurer, the owner has every right to give the policy away just like any other owned piece of property; the insurer's permission is not required. The transfer of ownership is referred to as assignment and the new owner is the assignee.
This form permanently transfers ownership of your FEGLI insurance to another individual, trustee, or corporation (however, premiums continue to be withheld from your salary/annuity). An assignment is irrevocable, and cannot be changed later.
In a life insurance assignment, a policy owner transfers his ownership rights of the policy to another party. The original owner is the assignor and the second party is the assignee.
The IRS Federal Form 712 reports the value of a life insurance policy's proceeds after the insured dies for estate tax purposes. Because it's typically the executor who manages the financial affairs of the deceased, it's the executor's responsibility to file the form - along with an estate tax return if needed.
Generally, life insurance proceeds you receive as a beneficiary due to the death of the insured person, aren't includable in gross income and you don't have to report them. However, any interest you receive is taxable and you should report it as interest received. See Topic 403 for more information about interest.
