Life is not simple. You have to fight against odds to reach a particular target. Not an easy journey to reach your goals. I am sure many will agree to this. It is soothing to imagine that nothing will ever happen to you. But what if you had to meet with an accident or something dreadful had to happen that would hamper your continuous flow of income. What would you do? Insurance is the answer to such situations.
To ensure financial shelter for your family members, get yourself insured. If you have already opted for insurance, it is commendable. But have you taught your nominee to make a policy claim should anything happen to you? If you haven't, you need to take an action as early as possible and if you are not aware of it, approach an agent for the same.

In case no nominee has been mentioned by the insured, the wife and children become the legal heirs and the insurance amount is passed on to them. If the child is a minor, the benefits are passed on to them when he/she turns 18 years of age under the guidance of an appointee by the insured. It is always recommended to be prepared with the necessary documents. In order to avoid complicated procedure, ask your agent to guide you on this.
