Allstate is a insurance company with 26 products relevant to estate planning. Life insurance and annuity proceeds transfer directly to named beneficiaries outside of probate, making beneficiary designations one of the most important estate planning steps for Allstate policyholders.

Managing beneficiaries at Allstate is straightforward—changes can be made online, in branch, by mail, and by phone, typically taking 15-30 minutes with agent; 10-15 business days for processing. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to name a trust as the policy beneficiary or establish an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT).

There are two sides to estate planning at Allstate: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
