Beneficiary designations are the foundation of estate planning for Globe Life policies. Unlike bank accounts, insurance products cannot be retitled into a trust. Instead, the beneficiary designation itself determines who receives the proceeds and how quickly they're paid. Naming a trust as beneficiary is an option when more control over distributions is needed.

With 12 product types, Globe Life offers a range of transfer options. Some policies support beneficiary designations, others can be retitled into a trust, and some require probate if no beneficiary is designated. The sections below break down each step.

Online Portal→

Required Documents

  • Trust name, date established, and tax ID (EIN or SSN)

Special Requirements

  • Trusts can be named as primary or contingent beneficiaries
  • Multiple beneficiaries can be named with specific percentage allocations; if percentages are not specified, benefits are divided equally
  • Beneficiary changes can only be made during the lifetime of the insured
  • Completing a new beneficiary form replaces all existing beneficiary designations
  • Irrevocable beneficiary designations require the beneficiary's written consent to change
  • Community property states may require spousal consent for beneficiary changes
  • Use full legal names; avoid generic designations like "my spouse" or "my children" to prevent disputes
  • A trustee of a trust can be named as a beneficiary to allow structured distribution of proceeds
