Make a policy nomination

The purpose of having life insurance is to ensure that your loved ones are financially protected should anything happen to you. It is then important that your loved ones can access the funds quickly by ensuring all your policies are nominated.

In case of non-Muslim policy owner, a trust will be created in favour of the nominee under the following circumstances:

  • If the nominee is the spouse or child of the policy owner, or
  • If the nominee is the policy owner’s parent (provided that there is no living spouse or child at the time of such nomination).

However, in the case of a Muslim policy owner, a trust will be not created in the above circumstances. The nominee of a Muslim policy owner takes the policy moneys only as an executor and must distribute the moneys in accordance with Islamic laws.

Questions and Answers

Where no nomination has been made, the insurance company shall pay the policy moneys to the applicant who produces the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration, which may take several years.

*Grant of Probate- a formal document issued by the court authorising the executor named by a deceased person in his will to administer his estate in accordance to the deceased’s will.

*Letters of Administration-a formal document issued by the court to a person to administer the estate of a deceased who did not make a will.

If you are 16 years old and above, you can nominate an individual(s) to receive the policy moneys in the event of your demise. Nomination can usually be done at the time of application of the life policy or at any other time, when necessary. The nomination form must be signed by a witness who is 18 years old and above, of sound mental health and who is also not your nominee.
