there is a difference between assigning the policy and nominating the policy.

I will just get clarified from Mr.balas.balaji that whether he want to nominate this policy benefits to his family members or

he want to assign the policy to someone who is in business relation with him.

Once i get this information then i can surely tell you more about it.

One more to add from which country you have purchased this policy?? :wink:

I think you may discuss the issue with your agent. The policy holder, technically, can name anyone as the beneficiary on his/her plan.

Kelvin, they aren't talking about beneficiaries here. They're discussing assigning ownership of a life insurance policy to someone other than the original policyholder.

Guys- every life insurance contract that I have ever seen from just about any country has an assignment provision contained within the policy language that shows the terms and conditions of all assignment options, usually concentrating on absolute, collateral and business buy-sell contract assignments.

Is this what the OP is concerned about? There's both a little and a lot to this, and the policyholder should think verrrrrrrry carefully before assigning the policy.

But Teacher, I think the OP is asking about an international assignment of such a policy.
Can someone really assign from so far away?
If you've come across such instances, then we'd at least know that it's possible. Steven

Steven, this isn't just an international assignment. This appears to be an Indian insurance policy. None of us have any business even attempting to answer this question without an expertise in Indian insurance law.

Definitely! His query has got nothing to do with the general nature of global insurance operations. I think the OP should rather ask it at any Indian consumer forum. Steven

Hi,

I don't think he can. Still, he might just forward this query through the customer service email of any Indian carrier and see what they have to say regarding this.

In my opinion, he still need to ask him at that time the insured person, and ask in India's policy on this issue.

Hi,

I guess if the person is on a short trip to abroad then this thing might just work for him. On the other hand if he's gonna settle down for long, then I believe this coverage won't be of any help to him. Steven

However, I would like to whether he is a short-term or long-term settlement, and the key to see whether he meets the requirements of insurance policies, I think this does not affect.
