When the one insured in a life insurance policy dies the proceeds go to the named beneficiary. If the beneficiary dies ahead of the insured, the proceeds will still be paid out. The insurance company will determine if there are primary co-beneficiaries named in the policy. If there are, the proceeds will be divided among these co-beneficiaries. When one of the co-beneficiaries dies, the remainder of the proceeds will be paid out to the surviving beneficiaries.
Definition: The beneficiary is the term in a life insurance or annuity insurance contract that identifies who will receive the benefit in the event of the insured death. A policy may have more than one beneficiary. The beneficiary can be revocable or irrevocable. The primary beneficiary is the person who first would receive the benefits of an insurance policy. If the primary beneficiary is deceased then the contingent beneficiary would receive the proceeds of the insurance policy. A contingent beneficiary is also sometimes called a secondary beneficiary. It is important to understand the role of the beneficiary in the insurance contract to ensure that regardless of circumstance the right person will receive the benefit. Beneficiary can also refer to someone who receives benefits from a health insurance policy such as payments for a health care service. How to Choose Your Beneficiary.
