Small Estate Affidavit and Insurance Assignments: When is it required?
All surviving family members must fill out a Small Estate Affidavit when the primary and contingent beneficiaries are deceased. Or, if the primary beneficiary is deceased and there is not named beneficiary on a life insurance policy. Some insurance companies have their own particular Small Estate Affidavits. Others will accept a “form”. The affidavit must be signed, dated and notarized.
These insurance assignment situations can get confusing and the insurance companies take a very close look at assignments where named beneficiaries are deceased. Be careful and make sure you have an experienced funeral funding company quarterbacking your insurance assignments.
