Farmers Insurance offers 7 insurance products that play a central role in estate planning. Because policy proceeds pass directly to named beneficiaries—bypassing probate entirely—keeping designations current is one of the highest-impact steps policyholders can take.

Farmers Insurance handles beneficiary designations in branch, by mail, and by phone. Accounts can also be linked to trusts through beneficiary designations to keep them out of probate entirely.

Farmers Insurance provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
