Which of the following statements is accurate concerning the changing of an irrevocable beneficiary?
The beneficiary may be changed based on the policyholder’s request
The beneficiary may be changed at any time
The beneficiary may be changed only with the written consent of the present beneficiary
The beneficiary may not be changed under any circumstances
The correct answer is: The beneficiary may be changed based on the policyholder’s request
In Arkansas, the correct statement concerning the changing of an irrevocable beneficiary is that the beneficiary may be changed based on the policyholder's request. Irrevocable beneficiaries can be changed only with the consent of the current beneficiary. This reaffirms the importance of understanding the implications of designating a beneficiary as irrevocable, as such a designation limits the policyholder's ability to change the beneficiary without the present beneficiary's permission.
