Ae-Cha starts working for the manufacturer, Premier Vibe Inc., a company that offers its employees group insurance with Sprout Life Insurance. Ae-Cha meets with Devon, the group insurance representative, and learns that her group plan includes $75,000 of life insurance coverage. Ae-Cha would like to know who designates the beneficiary on the life insurance.
In group life insurance plans, the employee (insured individual) is typically responsible for designating their own beneficiary. Although Premier Vibe Inc. sponsors the group plan, it is Ae-Cha, as the policyholder, who has the right to choose her beneficiary for the life insurance coverage provided under the plan. The employer or the insurer does not decide the beneficiary; this decision remains solely with the insured employee.
Kirill purchases a $250,000 permanent life insurance policy on the life of his grandson, Dmitry. Kirill asks his wife Katya to pay the policy premiums and names his daughter, Natalya, as the subrogated policyholder. He does not name a beneficiary. Subsequently, Kirill dies without a will.
Who will become the new policyholder?
In the case of life insurance where a subrogated policyholder is designated, that individual (in this case, Natalya) would assume ownership rights of the policy upon the original policyholder's death. Since Kirill named Natalya as the subrogated policyholder, she would become the new policyholder upon his death, regardless of the fact that Kirill did not have a will. This designation bypasses the estate, meaning the executor or other family members (like Katya) do not assume ownership. This outcome aligns with LLQP guidelines on succession planning and the assignment of life insurance ownership.

Svetlana is a 45-year-old single mother with two children: Georgi 17; and Ingrid 13. The children's father, Vladimir, has a serious gambling problem and only visits them sporadically. Vladimir's younger brother Sergei, on the other hand, is a dependable and helpful uncle who helps Svetlana regularly with the children. Svetlana meets with Robert, an insurance agent to review her life insurance needs because she wants to make sure that her children are taken care of if she were to die prematurely. Robert suggests that she purchase a $200,000 policy. Who should she name as a beneficiary?
Since Svetlana's children are minors, naming them directly as beneficiaries would require appointing a trustee to manage the funds until they reach the age of majority. Given that Vladimir is unreliable, Sergei---who is dependable and supportive---is the most suitable choice to act as trustee. Naming him as trustee ensures that the funds are managed responsibly for the benefit of Georgi and Ingrid until they can access them. Therefore, Option B is the most appropriate choice.
Germain is a life insurance agent. This morning, he receives a call from Jason, whose wife, Rosalie owned a $50,000 life insurance policy that she purchased from Germain seven years ago. Jason explains that Rosalie had a heart attack and died last week. Germain promises to help as much as he can.
As a life insurance agent, Germain's role is to assist the beneficiary in filing the claim but not to guarantee specific timelines for payment. Agents can help by providing the necessary claim forms, explaining the process, and offering guidance on filling out the forms accurately. The timeline for payment is determined by the insurer once they have received and reviewed the required documentation. Assuring specific payment timelines, as implied in options B, C, and D, is beyond Germain's authority and would be inaccurate. Therefore, Option A is the best response for Germain to assist Jason appropriately.
