With 11 products relevant to estate planning, Assurity policyholders need to understand how beneficiary designations control where proceeds go. These designations override a will, so the names on file with Assurity are what determine who receives the death benefit.

Managing beneficiaries at Assurity is straightforward—changes can be made by mail and by phone, typically taking 15-20 minutes to complete; 7-10 business days to process. 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 Assurity: setting things up while you're alive, and the process survivors follow after a death.
