		<description><![CDATA[A contingent in life insurance is a back up beneficiary or a back up policy owner. The policy owner has the option of naming a primary beneficiary (or beneficiaries) and may also wish to have contingent beneficiaries. Tertiary beneficiaries are the back up to the back up. 

While it may seem like overkill to have such layers, bear in mind that many contracts will remain unchanged for decades, despite best efforts for life insurance professionals to engage clients in policy reviews every three years. In that time, policy owners desires may have changed about who they want to receive proceeds, divorces happen, beneficiaries predecease insureds, etc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great question.  A contingent is the person or persons that would collect the life insurance in the event that the beneficiary has expired.  So basically if the insured expires and the insureds beneficiary expires, then the contingent will be paid the benefits of the life insurance policy.]]></description>
