Add a beneficiary for a revocable nomination


A revocable nomination allows you to appoint beneficiaries to receive your policy benefits while retaining full ownership and control of your policy.

You may update or remove your revocable nomination at any time without obtaining consent from your beneficiaries.

Before you begin

Please ensure that: 

  • You are the policy owner and the sole life insured under the policy.
  • You are at least 18 years old.
