The beneficiary is the recipient (or recipients) of your policy’s death benefit. This can be one or several people, trusts, or organizations. You choose who you want to receive the death benefit and what percentage of it each receives. For example, if you have kids, you may choose to make them your beneficiaries since they depend on you financially.
