  • If you want to make sure that the money your policy pays out goes to a specific person, you'll need to make a Will or put your policy in a trust.

    Your Will

    In your Will, you can choose who receives the money your policy pays out. You just need to update your Will, if you already have one. If you don’t have a Will yet, then a solicitor can help you set one up.

    Trusts

    Putting your policy in trust means that when it pays out, the money will quickly go to the people you want it to reach. It could also help sidestep inheritance tax on the money paid out. A solicitor can help you set up a trust.
