How your Oceanview Life annuity contracts transfer at death depends on how each one is titled and whether a beneficiary is on file. Of those, 5 can name a trust as beneficiary or be retitled into a trust. Getting these details right keeps assets out of probate and ensures they reach the intended recipients.
At Oceanview Life, beneficiary designations are managed by mail. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.
Oceanview Life provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
