How can life insurance policies be transferred to the Trust?

Typically, it's unnecessary to transfer ownership of life insurance policies to a Trust. Instead, beneficiaries are designated to receive the proceeds either directly or through the Trust, depending on preferences for control and distribution. Beneficiary Designation forms provided by insurance carriers allow directing proceeds to the Trust, ensuring distribution as per Trust terms. It's advisable to update beneficiary designations with insurance carriers to align with estate planning goals.
