Beneficiary designations are the foundation of estate planning for TruStage 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.
Each of TruStage's 9 policies has different rules for how it transfers at death. The sections below explain the options for each.
