The primary would receive the proceeds upon your death. If for some reason the primary is unable or incapable of receiving the proceeds, the contingient beneficiary would then become the recipient.Answered on October 2, 2013flag this answer

McNeil Insurance Services, Fresno, CaliforniaYour beneficiary is the one to whom the death benefit will be paid. This doesn’t need to be a natural person and is often a trust. It is extremely important to update the beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Every day someone dies leaving a sizeable chunk of money to someone that they don’t even like.Answered on May 30, 2014flag this answer
