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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I appoint more than one beneficiary?
Yes. You may appoint multiple beneficiaries under a revocable nomination and specify the share of benefits for each beneficiary with the total shares add up to 100%.
However, all beneficiaries must be included in the same nomination request. Beneficiaries cannot be added one at a time through separate nominations.
What happens if I make a new revocable nomination when I already have one?
All existing revocable nominations must be removed before you make a new revocable nomination.
If you wish to retain your existing beneficiaries while adding new beneficiaries, you must include both your existing and new beneficiaries in the new nomination request. Any beneficiary not included in the new nomination will no longer be covered under the revocable nomination.
Who will need to sign the form?
The policy owner and two witnesses (signatories) are required to sign the form. Ensure all signatures are provided in wet blue ink.
Who is eligible to act as a witness (signatory)?
- All witnesses must be at least 21 years old.
- A witness must not be the named beneficiary/nominee or the spouse of a beneficiary/nominee.
