Overview of this form
The North Carolina Renunciation and Disclaimer of Property from Life Insurance or Annuity Contract is a legal document used by a beneficiary to formally renounce any interest in the proceeds of a life insurance policy or annuity contract following the death of the insured person. By completing this form, the beneficiary chooses to disclaim their rights to the benefits, allowing the proceeds to pass as if they predeceased the insured.
