I have a question. On a family members life insurance policy she had 3 different beneficiaries listed. She had a PRIMARY BENEFICIARY which was her husband (Who is deceased), CONTINGENT BENEFICIARY which was her 6 grandchildren, and SECONDARY BENEFICIARY which is her 3 kids. Since the Primary is deceased, who would the policy go to? I’ve read different things… I’ve read that it goes to the contingent and other places I’ve read it goes to the secondary.
On the forms she filled out when enrolling in this program, she had the contingents all on the “legal” paperwork with percentages written next to it… ie: 5 of the contingents receive 17% while 1 contingent receives 15%… On the secondary beneficiaries there isn’t any percentages listed at all…
