For Assurant policyholders, estate planning comes down to one critical step: making sure the right beneficiaries are named on every policy. Insurance proceeds bypass probate entirely and go directly to whoever is listed—regardless of what a will says. When estate tax planning or controlled distributions are a factor, a trust can be named as beneficiary instead.

Each of Assurant's 7 policies has different rules for how it transfers at death. The sections below explain the options for each.

Contact the institution for details.

Special Requirements

  • Assurant's consumer products are property, casualty, and service contract policies, not life insurance
  • Renters insurance policies allow additional insureds but do not have life insurance-style beneficiary designations
  • Upon the policyholder's death, the estate representative should contact Assurant or the distributing partner (carrier, lender, retailer) to manage the policy
