The term policy that falls under the purview of the MWP Act shall be regarded as a trust. Only trustees will control the insurance, including benefit payments and services. At the time of a death claim, the policy proceeds are transferred to the trust, and only trustees can make a claim. It can not be used to pay off debts, be claimed by relatives, or be mentioned in the will of the proposer’s estate. For the benefit of the wife and kids, the trust will keep the claim amounts (ren). Consequently, the financial future of your wife and children is assured.
Suppose you are a salaried/working professional individual with a house or personal loan or a business owner with accumulated debts. In that case, your creditors will have priority over the proceeds of your policy in case of your death. When you choose term insurance under the MWP – Married Women’s Property Act, only your wife and child(ren) can access the claim amount, allowing you to secure their financial future.
This is also an excellent option for split families, where property owners may have several issues. There could be a gap in the tiny language that makes family disputes over funds and property common. In such circumstances, a policy covered by the MWP -Married Women’s Property Act will grant the beneficiary a clear title.
Throughout the period, the beneficiaries (wife and child(ren)) initially named in the policy stay the same. Once the policy is in place, it won’t be regarded as a component of the insured’s estate (business assets) and cannot be pursued by the company’s creditors or lenders. This means that the insured’s wife and child(ren), with whom it properly secures their future, are the only parties who may exercise control over the benefit amount in the event of the insured’s death.
