Nominate a beneficiary for a revocable nomination
A revocable nomination allows you to distribute the death benefits of your policy to your intended nominees (beneficiaries).
What you need to know
Under Section 133 of the Insurance Act:
- A policyowner can make a revocable nomination and continue to retain full rights and ownership of the policy.
- This means the policyowner can change or revoke a nomination at any time without requiring consent from the nominee(s).
Only policyowners who are 18 years old and above may make a revocable nomination.
