Life Insurance Policy Provisions, Options, and Riders

Why might an owner name a trust as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy?

Answer and explanation
Answer: A. A trust lets the owner decide in advance who receives what and when, with a trustee to administer the money, which is useful for minors and for staged distributions. Proof of death is still required, administration still has cost, and the terms cannot be rewritten after death.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, trusts as beneficiaries
