Can A Minor Be A Life Insurance Beneficiary?
- 63333 POINTSview profilePeggy MaceMost of the U.S.A minor can be a life insurance beneficiary, but it is generally in the child's best interest to make the beneficiary of your life insurance policy be a trust, or trusted relative or friend who will use the money for the welfare of the child.

Many attorneys recommend declaring a financial steward or custodial trustee for the financial disbursements to minors. Sometimes a trust is the beneficiary on behalf of minor children. Interestingly, there is always a contingent beneficiary option in a life insurance application.Answered on May 27, 2013+01 0+1 this answerflag this answerview more answers by David Racich
